How do I set up port forwarding for remote connections in PlayIt Live?

To set up port forwarding for remote connections in PlayIt Live, use the built-in helper tool. Go to File > Enable remote connections > Help me set up external connections > Help me with port forwarding. When prompted, enter your router brand and model, and the tool will generate step-by-step instructions tailored to your specific router.

The helper will guide you through forwarding TCP port 25443 (the default remote access server port) to your PlayIt Live computer's internal IP address. You'll also need to create a Windows Defender firewall rule using the Create rule button in the same helper before testing external access.
