Hi! A few fays ago I opened this question. As I noted there, I was trying to make a simple game in which a player could host a session and another player could join such session, but I couldn’t get it to work. Finally I solved the issue by unblocking some ports of my router. But now I have a question regarding network ports and EOS.

As I said, I couldn’t get my game to work until I unblocked the ports listed on How to troubleshoot connection issues - Technical Support, but until then I had been able to play Fortnite and Fall Guys just fine. My question then is: Why is that? Why could I play other EOS games but not mine? The company I’m working for is specially worried about whether or not people will be able to play our game without unblocking these ports. What are other considerations I should take into account regarding networking ports?

Thank you so much.
