Portweiterleitung ist eine Möglichkeit, eingehenden und ausgehenden Datenverkehr zwischen Ihrem Heimnetzwerk und entfernten Servern zu leiten. Um eine Verbindung zum Internet herzustellen, verwendet jedes Gerät eine eindeutige IP-Adresse mit mehreren Ports, mit denen es die Kommunikation herstellt.
Aus Sicherheitsgründen verwendet jeder Router, der diese Art von Kommunikation abwickelt, nur eine Auswahl von Ports, um wesentliche Dienste bereitzustellen. Wenn Sie einen Port für Ihren Online-Gameserver oder eine bestimmte Anwendung öffnen möchten, müssen Sie eine neue Portweiterleitungsregel auf Ihrem Router erstellen.

Das Hinzufügen einer Weiterleitungsregel zu Ihrem Windows 10-Computer erfolgt über das Windows-Sicherheitsmenü. Führen Sie die folgenden Schritte aus, um eine benutzerdefinierte Regel hinzuzufügen.
Wenn Sie diese Regel zu irgendeinem Zeitpunkt deaktivieren möchten, wählen Sie sie einfach aus der Liste aus und klicken Sie im Menü rechts auf „Regel deaktivieren“.
Weiterleitung von Ports für Minecraft
Standardmäßig verwendet Minecraft Port 25565 für die Kommunikation mit den Spielservern. Um diesen Port weiterzuleiten, müssen Sie dies über die Verwaltungsseite Ihres Routers tun.
- Öffnen Sie einen Browser auf Ihrem Computer oder Mobilgerät.
- Geben Sie in der Adressleiste 192.168.1.1 ein, um die Anmeldeseite für die Routerverwaltung zu öffnen.
- Geben Sie auf der Anmeldeseite den Benutzernamen und das Passwort ein.
- Wenn Sie die Startseite des Routers öffnen, suchen Sie die Portweiterleitungsoption und klicken (oder tippen) darauf. Die gesuchte Option sollte "Portweiterleitung" oder "Weiterleitung" lauten. Depending on the manufacturer of your router, you might find this option in the menu to the left or in the tabs at the top of the screen. If you don’t see it on the main page, it might be that it’s hidden in some of the menus. Try “Settings,” “Advanced Settings,” or something similar. If you still can’t find it, you might need to refer to the router’s user manual.
- Once you’re in the Port Forwarding menu, you have to create a new rule for port forwarding. For later reference, you can name the rule “Minecraft,” for example.
- Now enter 25565 number in the “Service port” field.
- Again, enter the same number in the “Internal Port” field.
- In the “IP Address” field, enter your computer’s static IP address. If you don’t know your static IP address, simply Google “what’s my IP” and it will appear as the first entry in the search results.
- From the “Protocol” drop-down menu, choose “TCP.”
- If there’s a “Status” field in the menu, set it to “Enabled.”
- Now click/tap the “Save” button to confirm the changes to the “Minecraft” forwarding rule you’ve just created.
- Once you do this, your router might reset, so wait for it to come back online again. If this doesn’t happen automatically, you might have to reset it manually by pressing the physical restart button on the router. Some router models may not have a reset button, meaning you’ll have to turn it off and then back on.
