Which ports need to be open
" No. What port forwarding does is it tells your router who to send packets to when they arrive. Because routers (potentially) serve multiple computers, it needs to know who to send the packets to. If you needed to port forward and it was not setup correctly, then nothing would work. However you do not need to port forward to play Path of Exile, so nothing will change. | |
" I'll second this, A range of like 10 ports would be so much easier to manage. | |

" same + ~30,000 ports is a bit insane. Why would the game need so many? It's not really safe to have so many ports open all at once. Never wrestle with a pig. You'll only get muddy, and the pig likes it!

This game only uses 10-20kbs of bandwidth tops while in game according to netlimiter. But for some reason I'm getting spikes in my ping anyway, and I can't figure out why. I got 5mb cable, and there is no excuse why I should be lagging in a game that uses 10-20kbs of bandwidth tops.
I can be running a torrent in the background and cap it to 250kbs, even though that is only half my bandwidth, yet I'm lagging in a game that only uses 10-20kbs. Its not making any sense to me. Can someone explain why with 5mb cable that I lag in PoE if I'm using the internet for anything else? Even when PoE only uses 10-20kbs? When I mean lag, the game normally runs at 40ms ping, but if I do anything else the pings spike up as high as 1500ms and my connection frequently drops out. Have the ports changed? I'm gonna try to do QoS on my router and see if that helps any. I should be able to download something in the background and play PoE without any lag.

" I didn't understood it completely: do you only have lag when you are torrenting or also when you are doing nothing else? Using half of your bandwidth can be enough to completely ruin your ping in games. Especially with torrents because you have a lot of connections up. I used to have internet with similar speed as you and i could only play without lag and watch 720p youtube once i upgraded to 20 Mbps. Also is 5Mbps your real BW (what you get when you use something like speedtest) or is it what the ISP advertises on his website (you never get the speeds they advertise). | |
" bump - I also think it's unreasonable to classify 32768 - 61000 as belonging to poe alone when doing QoS. Can anyone give an explanation of why this is so? Behind you!

There has to be a way to not leave my entire port range in DMZ to play this game? Anyone?

" It's a very bad attempt at describing the range of ports Windows will allocate from for clients. There is no need to consider it under most QoS implementations as you only need to specify the remote port (ie., the other ports that have been listed) Also, that list must be out of date; the game instance servers use port 6112 which is what you'd be most interested in applying QoS for anyway. " DMZ is only required in some exotic cases for stateless protocols like UDP. PoE does not use UDP.
