Uh... Hello to whoever is reading this.
This is basically a complete A–Z guide on how to set up a remote access tool using Portmap.io.
For this guide I'll be using Pulsar as a demonstration (you can grab it from this repo).
So let’s get into it.
Head over to portmap.io.
As seen in the image, click on the SIGN-IN button.
Then on this page you’ll be creating your Portmap account just like any other site — nothing special.
After creating your account, verify your email, and that’s basically it for creating a Portmap account.
Also I haven’t said this but the reason we’re creating a Portmap account is because we’re going to use it as a port forwarding service. If you don’t know what that is go search it up or ask ChatGPT.
Go to the Configurations page → create a new config.
You’ll get an auto-generated file with a bunch of random text (encrypted stuff).
Most importantly: DOWNLOAD IT. There’s a download button there, click it and save the file.
On the left-sidebar you’ll see a link to download OpenVPN. (OpenVPN is basically just a relay service to connect you to Portmap, hope you understood that.)
👉 Direct download link: OpenVPN 2.6.14 64-bit
(You can of course still visit the site — no difference.)
Head over to the Mappings tab in portmap.io → create a new config.
Leave the auto-filled defaults intact. Do not change anything that was already filled up.
Leave the input field that says Port on Portmap.io (mine is 42198). Yours will most definitely be different — but that doesn’t mean you should change it.
The only thing you need to fill in is the field that says Port on your PC → set it to 5000.
(Five thousand. Don’t you go putting 500 or 50000. It’s FIVE THOUSAND — three 0’s after the five if you don’t know.)
Then click on the Create button. Leave the Allowed IPs field blank — don’t touch it.
On your PC, search for:
Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security
Ensure the exact name has with advanced security, like in the image.
Once opened, on the left sidebar go to Inbound Rules (not Outbound rules — you ain’t got business with outbound rules).
Then on the right click on New Rule.
Set the rule type as Port (not Program or anything else).
Make sure it’s set to TCP and the port number is 5000 (the same one you set in Portmap).
Click Next, Next... then give the port rule any name you want (doesn’t affect anything).
After you’re done, just close it (if you wanna — doesn’t matter).
Open Control Panel → System and Security.
Click on Windows Defender Firewall.
On the sidebar you’ll see a bunch of options. Click on Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off.
Then disable both options (turn them off).
Now open Pulsar — the elephant in the room… wait did I say elephant? Sorry, I meant RAT lol. 🐀
Head over to the Settings tab → in the Port field set it to 5000.
Then click Start Listening for Connections and Save.
Now open OpenVPN (the one we downloaded earlier).
👉 Download link again for convenience
Then drag and drop the config file you downloaded from Portmap earlier (told ya it’d be important).
In the Builder tab of Pulsar → go to Connections.
Fill it in with the address you got from Portmap.
tcp:// prefix — that’s not part of the connection string.
Paste the address into Pulsar and click Add Host.
After filling those up, feel free to adjust any other settings in the Builder tab as you want.
Then click Build Client.
That’s all, fellas — no sections skipped.
Everything from A–Z on how to set up Pulsar using Portmap.
