*In a P2P match, you need to communicate directly with your opponent. To do this, you will need to change the router settings in your environment. UPnP is the automatic way to make this setting.

Most routers have UPnP available by default, but if it is not available, log into your router's configuration screen yourself and add the port forwarding setting.

In case using UPnP

1. Check Enable UPnP

2.Set GdxUDPPort (set between 29700 ~ 29800 as appropriate)

3.Press [UPnP Now] button
