Is there a program to portforward ports?

I hate having to load 192.162.1.1 manually and adding ports , so i am looking for a program to autofill it out for gaming etc, so i clicked on a game in a list it would know which ports it uses and fill it out , think it would be quick and handy for gamers that want to host servers..

PFConfig will do it but it costs an obscene amount of money.

if your router has a telnet interface you can use a program like
teraterm pro to write a script that will execute the commands to set-up
portforwarding

Honestly i was in a position your in. Back up your routers settings and continue playing with it yourself till you get it right. No programs will do it 100%. Some internet providers wont allow you to port forward.

it's not the internet providers that you go to port forward with. it's just via the router to allow packets on certain ports to reach the right lan ip.

@OP - If you're hosting a server then just setup the ports once and disable it when you're not hosting it. On most routers you can turn off the forwarding of selected ports and turn them back on.

or buy that PFConfig program if it matters so much
