So Stellaris has been giving me a massive headache when it comes to multiplayer. Apparently its because a lot of the neccessary ports for this are blocked. So I went over to http://checkopenport.com/ and apparently all of my ports are 3 kinds of screwed up. So natually I port foward my router, and turn off my firewall. Still says they are blocked. I could be a massive idiot but I would like someone to professionally confirm that before I self diagnose. So here is the image of my stupidity: http://imgur.com/a/rLHt5
If someone could tell me how to fix this that would be great.

P.S. Just forgot that I probably should tell you my exact model of router. Its an Asus Rt-n66u

Create a service name under the Port Forwarding list for Stellaris.

Use as many entries as needed to open the ports.

Then select or enter "Stellaris" from/into the "Famous Server list" and/or put the game name under "Famous Games List".

You may get more information by clicking Manual/Information next to the Help & Support icon. Plus there is a FAQ block to enter questions.

That is my sense, in general, of what needs to be done. I have no way of checking the specific details so you may need to work on a trial and error basis. Just keep notes and be methodical about it.

In other words you are creating personal preset related to the Server/Game you wish to play. Then select the port forwarding "preset" for what ever game you wish...

What firewall are you using? Any additional information or errors about the ports still be "blocked".

Do you have the Asus Rt-N66U User Manual?

https://www.asus.com/us/Networking/RTN66U/HelpDesk_Manual/

Check what you have done versus the manual. It is fairly easy to miss some necessary setting/configuration...

Clear out your work to date, make sure all else works, and then start over fresh.

I am currently just using the windows firewall (it is turned off right now) and the built in firewall on my router. I don't have any specfic errors just the fact that the "connection times out" on the several utilities I am using. I have looked at the manual several times and even done a search within the document and there is nothing about opening ports or port fowarding or anything like that . I have also done a factory reset but the ports reamin blocked. I have turned off all firewalls but it doesnt appear to do anything.

Those are just presets. They just add a configuration of ports. However, it does not appear to actualy open any ports. As far as I can tell, according to youtube and the other presets I am doing everything right, but the ports remain closed.
