Hello,
I am trying to check if some ports on my computer are forwarded properly(i am behind a router).The normal method for this is to create a server on your computer and send a request to some free web proxy to connect back to you. So if connection is established, port is forwarder properly. This works ok but i takes around 5-10 seconds. The question is: why cant i check if port is forwarded properly simply by trying to connect to my external ip?
P.S. Sorry if put it in the wrong section but i really didnt know where to put it.
