Ok, I'm portforwarding and I want to know what type of port byond is (FTP,DNS,Ect.)Thanks

Well, you can manually set the port BYOND uses in the preferences->advanced menu.
To play games, your pager simply has to be able to connect to the hub itself, so set an arbitrary port above 1000 (maybe even above 10,000 if you want to be really careful), in the pager. Next, forward the port for BYOND.exe to the port you have chosen. That should do it. | |
Named ports like FTP and DNS are actually shortcuts for the actual port number: FTP = 21, DNS = 53, etc.
I recommend you to pick a port between 1025 and 9000, since those are a) ports you are likely allowed to open (ports below 1024 can only be opened by administrative users, at least on Linux but I believe this is the same for Windows, ports above 10000 are client ports which are used for temporary connections; you should avoid using them lest you not cause trouble)
