Port 44158 Opening/Forwarding

shiko0oz — Tue, 12 Apr 2022 23:09:28 GMT

Dear Team,

I got a helium miner and in order for it to work effectively, I need to open/activate port 44158. The miner is connected directly via cable (LAN) to my Vodafone router, I tried logging into my router settings via

192.169.0.1 => Internet =>IPv6 host exposure => then I added the port as shown in the picture below

I ran port diagnostics via "yougetsignal.com" and it still shows me that the port is closed.

I tried restarting the router by unplugging it from the power source and everything is completely gone.

Can you please help me activate/open this port.

Thanks in advance

Shiko

In short: You won't be able ports on IPv4 protocol level because your system uses an IPv6-only connection.

And the other thing is that websites like the mentioned one check if there is a program running and listening on that port - and as such websites rely solely on the IP address of your browser, they won't work with IPv6 connections.

Hello shiko0oz,

if your connection is connected via IPv6 with a DS-lite tunnel, like all new private customer connections, there is no port forwarding. Then you can only create IPv6 shares.

Best regards

Tina

Thanks for your answer, is there any way around it that would allow me to open this port?

No, your contract only contains DualStack-Lite operation and such does not allow external IPv4 port forwards.
