Hello all

The HG8245Q2 port forward has been completely nonfunctional no matter what I do. I would love to port forward to play SS13 with some friends, but due to jankiness and limited information about this particular router, it has not been working

I set up the local and static IP stuff, but for whatever reason, port 1337 is unable to be reached at all. Even after filling out every option of Ports with 1337.

I would love some help
Have you tried a different port at all? It's possible that port is blocked upstream and isn't necessarily your router's fault.

Not blocked, just checked with netstat -ano
There's services such as hamachi to setup a VPN (the actual thing, not the word proxy companies have been marketing) which allow you to create a "local" network over the internet.

It's entirely possible your internet service provider (ISP) is blocking direct access to your IP. Contact your ISP for more information about that.
