Since LBRY is a Peer-to-Peer network, it requires that your device is accessible to the internet. LBRY also runs servers to assist in content hosting, but this process may fail if your device cannot send it to us. By default, the TCP sharing port is set to 3333. If your network is properly configured and LBRY is running, a port status check on TCP Port 3333 should pass on this [port checking tool](http://www.canyouseeme.org). If it fails, you can check if UPnP is enabled on your router or forward TCP port 3333 manually. If you need assistance, check out the [help page](/faq/how-to-report-bugs) on how to reach us.
