Since I’m running grin in an Ubuntu virtual machine with VirtualBox in Windows 10, I believe I’m having trouble with the port forwarding due to Windows Firewall:

My understanding is that once I run grin wallet -e listen I should be able to receive transactions by using a link of the format “http://My\_Public\_IP\_Address:3415” as the withdrawal address on the exchange.

How do I get port 3415 opened in Windows Firewall? I added a new inbound rule in the advanced firewall settings. I used my Windows PC’s Private IP address in my modem port forwarding configuration (instead of the Private IP of the Ubuntu machine) just to test out whether or not I’m able to get the port open without the added complexity of VirtualBox and the Ubuntu VM. I tried adding the rule 2 ways:

1.) adding a rule for port forwarding  
2.) adding a rule for an app (Chrome since I’m checking [https://canyouseeme.org/](https://canyouseeme.org/) in Chrome Browser, then open 3415 within the preferences of the new Chrome rule)

Neither directly opening the port or opening it for Chrome seems to change my results at [https://canyouseeme.org/](https://canyouseeme.org/)

Not sure where I’m going wrong.
