Tuttorial for online gaming (with CPF 2.2.0.11 and later versions)

This is a mini tuttorial on how to enable online gaming with CPF 2.2.0.11 and later future versions

First you have to open the ports your game uses for communicating with internet. For doing so go at the under the "network monitor" tab of the CPF and add the following rule:


Action = Allow
Protocol = TCP or UDP
Direction = In
Source IP = Any
Remote IP = your IP adress (you can also use "Any", if you are using a modem and not a router; by this you won't have to change the IP address every time you connect in internet )
Source port = Any
Remote port = "A set of ports" (= the ports your game uses for the TCP and UDP connections)

After that remember to move this rule up, over the default rule "Block IP in". (CPF "reads/applicates" the rules from the top to the bottom)


*If you are still having trouble connecting, then you must go at the "Application monitor" tab, select the executable of the game, and click with the right button of the mouse and select "edit".
Then check the following two boxes at the application rule "Miscellanous":
"Allow invisible connection attemps"
"Skip advanced security checks"

Now your game should be able to connect in internet without any problems

Hi this is how I got it to work with my games

Go to network monitor and add a new rule. Put them as follows.

Action: Allow
Protocol: TCP/UPD
Direction: In/Out
Source IP: Any
Remote IP: Any
Remote Ports: Any

Then move that up to the the top of the network monitor rules list.

Next go to Application Monitor: Add a new rule for the game or edit the one you already have.

Go to Miscellanous, and check allow invisible connection attemps and skip advanced security checks. Then go to the middle and check allow all activities for this application.

Then you should be good!

Try this if the post by Pandlouk doesn't work...

If beside all these you still having problems with online gaming consider turning of "Component Monitor" when you want to play. This probably will solve the problems, at least temporarly until the development team work this out

Please check this suggestion and tell if it can help or not.

Action: Allow
Protocol: TCP/UPD
Direction: In/Out
Source IP: Any
Remote IP: Any
Remote Ports: Any

With this rule you allow that everyone can access to your computer, i.e., you have your system completely open!

Do you know if "online gaming" here also includes the POKER sites?   Most run with their own client software.

If the games are full screen applications, yes

Hi! I've a problem with my PES5 PC. I set this rule in Network Monitor:

Action = Allow
Protocol = UDP
Direction = In/Out
Source IP = Any
Remote IP = Any
Source port = 5730
Remote port = Any

and I place it over Block IP In/Out. What's my error??

Sorry for my poor english...

[Drunken Master]

I have tried:

[1]
Action = Allow
Protocol = UDP
Direction = In
Source IP = Any
Remote IP = Any
Source port = 5730
Remote port = Any

[2]
Action = Allow
Protocol = UDP
Direction = Out
Source IP = Any
Remote IP = Any
Source port = 5730
Remote port = Any

[3]
Action = Allow
Protocol = UDP
Direction = In
Source IP = Any
Remote IP = Any
Source port = Any
Remote port = 5730

[4]
Action = Allow
Protocol = UDP
Direction = Out
Source IP = Any
Remote IP = Any
Source port = Any
Remote port = 5730

but every attempt has been useless. Some idea?

Hi,

Try this:

Action = Allow
Protocol = UDP
Direction = In
Source IP = Any
Remote IP = Any
Source port = Any
Remote port = Any

Note: What is in bold is what I have changed from your past attempts.

Please post back your results.

justin1278,

You should define a destination port instead of allowing all the UDP connection to your system, like I said some posts above...

Or with the new version of CPF...

Action = Allow
Protocol = UDP
Direction = In
Source IP = Any
Destination IP = Any
Source port = Any
Destination port = Any

 
LOL! J/K...

justin1278,

You should define a destination port instead of allowing all the UDP connection to your system, like I said some posts above...

So if a program/game uses port 7777, the destination port for UDP IN should be 7777? and the rest any?

[VaMPiRiC_CRoW]

Yes.
Will work with both, but this way you will restrict for only one port...

but with this rule I allow that everyone can access to my computer... it's the same that "Allow All"... it's a bad chosen (IMHO)
