Missing Default Gateway numbers.

retiredretired
in General VPN Support
OS: Windows 10, 64-bit, Version 1803 (OS Build 17134.112); Installed to desktop.
VPN: PIA v81.
Router: Linksys X6200 AC750 Wi-Fi VDSL Modem Router.

I reside in Thailand and the PIA VPN is connected to Singapore (196.52.34.13). As far as I can determine the connection is working perfectly and various DNS leak tests indicate 'NO DNS LEAKS'. (196.52.34.13 - ip-13-34-52-196.sg.asianpacifictelephone.com - LogicWeb Inc. Singapore.

I wish to Port Forward a port I use for incoming connections in my qBittorrent client.

The information in 'ipconfig /all' under 'Ethernet adapter Ethernet' do NOT show the numbers for Default Gateway thus can not complete the Port Forwarding process.

FYI:-
1. The information in ipconfig /all under 'Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection' do show the numbers for Default Gateway.

2. In Network Connection, Ethernet is shown as 'Unidentified network'.

3. An Intel® Driver Scan indicated relevant software to be up to date:
TAP-Windows Adapter V9
Manufacturer: TAP-Windows Provider V9
Availability: Running at full power
Status: This device is working properly.
Installed: True
MAC Address: 00:FF:E0:FD:FF:D8
Service Name: tap0901
Driver Provider: TAP-Windows Provider V9
Driver Version: 9.0.0.21
Driver Date: 11/5/2014

Would you kindly please assist to obtain the number for the Default Gateway to complete the Port Forwarding task, thanks.

    @retired The default gateway is entirely up to you as to what is used, so long as you use something in one of the 2 below ranges of IP Addresses (you would assign this IP Address in your router settings):
    1) 172.16.x.x - 172.31.x.x
    2) 192.168.x.x

    Where the x will be a number between 0 and 255. For the 4th group of the address, I recommend using a number less than 100 so that if you have multiple devices connecting to your router, they can all be assigned an IP address. If the 4th number is 250 for example, you would be limited to only being able to connect 4 devices to this router (ie. 192.168.15.250), as 255 is used to send a broadcast to all IP Addresses that have the same first three numbers (192.168.15.255 would send a message to all computer that were addressed as 192.168.15.x on you LAN every time the computer transmitted data).
