Port forwarding on the big VPNs, next to a port on your own IP.

Proton includes port forwarding on its paid VPN plans. PIA's and NordVPN's figures are for the dedicated IP add-on; PureVPN's is its dedicated IP on a 2-year plan, with port forwarding extra. Surfshark and ExpressVPN list no port forwarding either. Checked 2026-10-06. More in static IP VPNs compared.
Most VPNs share one exit IP among many users. A shared IP cannot give each user a fixed inbound port, so most providers either limit port forwarding or leave it out.
Proton VPN forwards one port on its P2P servers, but it picks the port at random, and the port usually changes when you reconnect. You cannot choose it, so a game server address or a client setting breaks again and again. PIA forwards ports, but third-party reports say not on its US servers.
NordVPN, Surfshark and ExpressVPN list no port forwarding, even with a dedicated IP. PureVPN sells it as a separate add-on on top of the VPN and the dedicated IP.
Your own static IP over WireGuard. No VPS.
Dedicated IPv4 from $2/mo →GetAStatic gives you one static US IPv4 that only you use. You open the ports you need in the dashboard, TCP or UDP, with no ticket. The port number is yours: it does not rotate, and it does not change when you reconnect. Plus costs $2/mo with 5 open ports; Pro costs $4/mo with unlimited open ports.
The WireGuard tunnel connects out from your side, so inbound ports work behind CGNAT: on Starlink, 5G home internet, mobile data and hotel Wi-Fi. See escape CGNAT, Plex behind CGNAT and a game server behind CGNAT.
It is a full VPN too: while the tunnel is on, the device's outbound traffic leaves from the same IP. See a static IP VPN. Pay by card or crypto, with a 7-day money-back guarantee.
Every port on a new IP starts closed. You open only the ones you need.
| Port | Protocol | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| 25565 | TCP | A Minecraft Java server |
| 32400 | TCP | Plex remote access |
| 51413 | TCP+UDP | A P2P client's listening port |
| 22 | TCP | SSH into a home server |
Plus opens up to 5 ports; Pro and Ultra have no limit.
Plus for light use, Pro for most people, Ultra for full gigabit.

No. The IP and every port you open stay the same after a reconnect, a reboot or a new network. They change only if you close the port or cancel.
Yes. You choose the port number and TCP or UDP when you open it in the dashboard, single ports or ranges. Plus opens up to 5; Pro and Ultra have no limit.
Yes. Open a port as UDP for game servers such as Minecraft Bedrock or Valheim, for VoIP, or for your own WireGuard server. See a game server behind CGNAT.
Yes. The tunnel connects out on UDP 1194 or 443, so CGNAT does not stop it, and inbound connections come back down the tunnel. See Starlink port forwarding and T-Mobile Home Internet port forwarding.
Yes. It is a WireGuard VPN: while the tunnel is on, the device's traffic leaves from your static IP. On networks that block VPNs, switch to AmneziaWG, which every plan includes.
Proton includes port forwarding on its paid plans, but on shared P2P servers, with a random port that usually changes when you reconnect. GetAStatic gives you your own US IP and the ports you choose, and they stay the same. Checked 2026-10-06.
