Any ports for Sins of a Solar Empire listed on this page should be opened or forwarded in your router/firewall to allow proper connection to an online server or dedicated server and/or when you want to host an online multiplayer game or application from your computer or local area network (LAN). The information in this article is for the PC platform.

All computers behind the same router, (on the same local network), should be configured to have individual ports forwarded, this is because one of the computers might leave the game and another pc will have to take over as host, for example two computers on the same local network might forward port 6001 to one computer and 6002 to the other computer, these ports should be set in the tting file and in the router.
