| **Option 1:** In this case, you only have ONE device that is acting as a blockchain node for Qortal AND your router has uPnP enabled. The default settings that your node will have comes with uPnP enabled - uPnP is a feature that most common routers provide by default. If you are unsure, ask your service provider. With uPnP enabled in the router, and only ONE node running on your home network, you do NOT need to configure anything further on this guide. | **Option 1:** In this case, you only have ONE device that is acting as a blockchain node for Qortal AND your router has uPnP enabled.
