Do I really need to forward that entire port range for any reason? Or would just forwarding port 10666 work if I select port 10666 when starting the server?

I attempted to forward the whole port range in my Verizon router's firewall settings (attached image, top); I guess I did it correctly. I didn't use the advanced settings; I just used basic settings, set protocol to "Both" and gave "10666-10700" in the port field.

I also added a rule to my operating system's firewall (attached image, bottom); it didn't seem to work the first time I tried it, so I ended up starting a server and then creating a rule from the zandronum-server entry in the firewall's listening report. My server was using port 10666 so that's what's in the firewall rule now. At this point, I was able to join my own server, but I haven't tried getting anyone else to join.
