🎮 Moonlight / NVIDIA GameStream: Required Port Forwarding

To stream games over the internet to Moonlight, you must forward the following TCP and UDP ports from your public IP to your GameStream PC (host with GeForce Experience):

✅ Required Ports

Protocol	Port	Description
TCP	47984	Main control connection
TCP	47989	Video stream (H.264/HEVC)
UDP	47998	Input (keyboard, mouse, gamepad)
UDP	47999	Audio (speaker output)
UDP	48000	Video stream (data channel)
UDP	48010	Optional, alternate video or QoS
TCP	48010	Optional, handshake or fallback

• ✅ Minimum Required: Forward 47984 TCP, 47989 TCP, and 47998–48000 UDP
• 🔒 Optional/Improved Stability: Add 48010 TCP + UDP

External Port	Protocol	Internal IP → Port
47984	TCP	192.168.x.x → 47984
47989	TCP	192.168.x.x → 47989
47998	UDP	192.168.x.x → 47998
47999	UDP	192.168.x.x → 47999
48000	UDP	192.168.x.x → 48000
48010	UDP	192.168.x.x → 48010 (optional)
48010	TCP	192.168.x.x → 48010 (optional)

• Make sure your firewall on the GameStream PC allows these ports as well.

🔁 Sunshine reuse the exact same port forwarding config:

Port	TCP	UDP
47984	✅	❌
47989	✅	❌
47998	❌	✅
47999	❌	✅
48000	❌	✅
48010	✅ (optional)	✅ (optional)

• 🎯 Just forward these ports to the Sunshine server’s internal IP.Sunshine lets you change the ports in its config file or Web UI
