If your router doesn't have Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) enabled, you'll need to manually set up port forwarding rules for each connection. This can be more time-consuming and require technical knowledge, but there are online tutorials to help.
UPnP is a protocol that allows devices to automatically find and request ports on a router. While it can be useful for some applications, it's generally considered best practice to disable UPnP because it can create vulnerabilities in your router's firewall. If a device is compromised, your router could be open to attack.
If you do need to forward ports, you can use alternatives like PCP or NAT-PMP, which are simpler and more lightweight protocols.
To enable UPnP on your router, you can:
Log in as an admin
Go to your router's web interface
Look in Advanced, Admin, or Network settings
Most routers have UPnP turned on by default.
