## How do I know if I'm sharing content and helping the LBRY network properly? ## How do I know if I'm sharing content and helping the LBRY network properly?
The easiest way to confirm that you are sharing correctly is to determine if the port used for seeding (3333) is open to the rest of the LBRY network. To do so, type 3333 into [this port checking tool](http://www.canyouseeme.org) and check the result. It if shows "Success", you are all set. If it shows "Error", you may need to check your router settings for UPnP options (set to enable) or forward TCP port 3333 and UDP Port 4444 to your local computer running the LBRY Desktop. Firewall and NAT settings may also affect the availability of these ports. Also, when you acces the checking tool page, check if in the browser there is no active plug-in or extension that act like a VPN. In this case the result could be false and indeed your Desktop app could have acces to these port, but the browser not.
