Could anyone tell me which ports I need to open for worms?
I know you write the portname in the setttings box, and by opening that port, I managed to connect to directly hosted games, but not to games hosted by proxy.worms2d.

Checking your connectivity
When setting up hosting, you don't need to ask someone to try joining your game to see if it worked - you can check yourself. To do this:
1. Host the game as usual (you don't need to host it on WormNET, a Direct IP game will work too)
2. Minimize W:A (by clicking on the bottom of the screen, or pressing Shift+Esc)
3. Open canyouseeme.org
4. Enter 17011 as the port (unless you changed it)
5. Click Check
The website will tell you whether your computer is connectable on the port you specified. Remember that this will only work while you're actually hosting a game!
