Quick and effective help
October 30, 2015

Really good site which provides helpful advice really quickly. Especially valuable if you're like me and find things like DNS servers and WAN settings a complete mystery - they provide easy to follow suggestions and do all the work for you

I don't know what all the bad reviews on here are all about. I downloaded the software and it forwarded my port for my Xbox One and now I'm able to host COD games where before I could not. It was super easy and I guess some people just can't be bothered to figure it out.

I worked with Tedie in support and he was able to track down exactly why my ports were not forwarded. I feel like he really went the extra way to hold my hand. I don't know much about networks but I learned so much working with him.

Almost perfect
September 26, 2016

Had problems with forwarding after i changed internet supplier(and router). And i decided to buy PF app, my new router wasnt supported, but after a talk with support we manage to fix everything. I can forward ports now, but one thing we didnt get was to forward 80 port:(
Expect that 1 thing everything is great. :)

Great Support
November 9, 2015

I tried to forward my ports and I was really struggling. I paid for the support and Jason worked over a number of days until he got my ports forwarded. I know it was really difficult but he persevered. Great work, Thank you Jason

It finally works!
August 18, 2017

I went and bought the program cause it is an easy tool to optimize your online connection in video games and such. At first it didn't work for me but the tech support guy helped me find a solution when i basically gave up. He helped me optimize my two routers so that i can open any port that i need. He was kind and knew his way around the routers/modems. I suggest this program to anyone trying to open his port cause it is easy to get around the program and if you don't know how to, you get the support you need from the developer.

I've been trying for a while to get my Xbox One to get open nat. It turns out I had 2 routers and didn't know it, but the support guys tedie and allen figured it out. Once they got that little nugget sorted out it was a snap. Thanks for sticking with me guys, it was a real learning experience.

Was having huge problems with getting my router to work and forwarding, so i contacted customer service and they have been working with me for a while and i't still wasn't working. They said they need to view my computer via a program and was worried about it but turned out to be really trustworthy and just did the job they are supposed to do. 100% trustworthy program and customer serve.

In this day and age of customer service were we see more and more companies and employees lacking what it takes, it is truly great to see that there are still companies and employees who care about their clients.

Tedie of Portforward is an example of this, he took the time to set-up an appointment with me and research an issue I continue to have with my modem. This was after I already had been having issues with my other service provider. I change to a new service provider and subsequently a new modem, he research it and add it to the list of modems now supported by Port Forward. Even after this I still had some issues and he kindly volunteer his time to log in remotely and determine what the issue was and more importantly corrected it.

I highly recommend this service and more importantly the people that stand behind it providing World Class service.

Thank you

Our router's firmware did not configure in Port Forward so Port Forward wrote and updated their software to make it possible to work with my ASUS RT-N66R.

For the forty bucks, I've never received such good service.

It took some time and trial to get it up, but welcome to life.

Big thumbs up to Tedie, he took additional time to assist me with a server problem that I had been trying to get anyone to fix for over 6 months. In an hour with Tedie via remote, bam, up and working with no glitches.

I feel like it's the first time in years a company gave a damn about their product and their clients.

Thank you for all your help!

Good experience
May 18, 2016

Recently I cancelled my subscription from security company and tried to cut down my budget with build my own security system. I use 2 camera's connected to my wireless router and then got this problem for port forwarding my camera with cell phone, it's my first time so I turned to ProtForward for help. At first there's problem with some technical issue and I didn't give much credit for it could solve my problem, but the technician was very patient and dedicated, even it took a little bit long time but finally the problem was solved finally. Thanks for your great service and I have learned a lot from it.

Perfection
November 6, 2016

I had issues in the beginning with my router version that wasn't supported. They got support for it and I'm so happy that they were able to fix my issue. Please give them time to help you out before you give them negative feedback they will do everything in your power to help. I'm a customer for life. Portforward is the truth with a kind and personable staff to help. Thanks Tedie.

Well, it took some time to find the solution but PFC found the problem and my ports are open now. My CompTIA A+ technician level didn't help me at all this time. When i think of the long list of routers worldwide with and endless list of configurations, it's not too much to say that the PFC support is more than worth the price of the software. But let me tell you one important thing: the PFC guys need a few days of time to solve your problem, as they are hard working human beings and not magicians! I can recommend the PFC port forwarding software 100%, great job and all very smooth and simple to handle. Thanks!

I have used the Port Forward utility for a few years and it always helped solve my issues. The guides and explanations are very well written and easy to understand, even for a non techie like me! However I encountered a problem recently when I purchased a new Asus router. I tried using the Port Forward utility to solve my problem with this new router, but mine was not listed as supported. I contacted technical support, fully expecting to get a very technical response to my query? I was pleasantly suprised to get the opposite. After a few exchanges of information, which I was gently guided through, my router was added to the list of supported ones and I was back in business. It was Tedie who helped me and I can't thank him enough for his help and guidance as well as his patience with my lack of knowledge. He has restored my faith in technical support generally. Superb job Tedie.

Thank You for your refund (s) I agree, You should work harder on customer response phone / e mail / contact support. And the web service that processes your payments as well. I am sorry if I have caused you any bad reviews on tour product. YOUR SOFTWARE WORKS GREAT... I just did not want to pay multiple charges because of your website glitch. -Margi

I wanted to play Call of Duty with my friends but I kept getting booted out of the lobby. Someone suggested this software and I tried it and it worked. All I had to do was forward Xbox One and I was able to join the game.
