How To Open a Port

Sorry, we don't yet have a video for this article, but we're working on it.

1 Login to the Kinetic Panel

2 Head to the Network tab on the left hand side & select on Network & Ports

Network

3 Click on the "Open Port" button

Network

4 You will now see a new port that was created.

Network

That is how you open a port

Why Random?

In most cases, you don't need a set number, as the port number can be changed in the configs. Minecraft plugins for example always have a config you can set the port number in. Random ports are used unless you have a dedicated IP, more than one client will be on the same IP.

If you own a dedicated IP, you can set a number of your choosing by opening a support ticket.
