ESO Steam Port Forwarding

Hi everyone

I'm setting up some ESO portforwarding based on this article: https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1133

However, for some of the ports I'm getting an overlapping range error. When you look at the ports, there is in fact overlapping.

Number 1 overlaps with 2 and 3; number 2 with 1 and 3; number 3 with 1, 2, and 4; number 4 with 2, 3 and 5; and number 5 with number 4.
1. TCP / UDP Ports 27000 through 27015
2. TCP / UDP Ports 27015 through 27030
3. TCP / UDP Ports 27014 through 27050
4. TCP / UDP Ports 27031 through 27036
5. TCP / UDP Ports 27036 through 27037
This means that out of the Steam ports I was only able to add ports 1 (27000-27015) and 5 (27036-27037).
Is this normal? Are the ports on that page incorrect? If so, should I be adding ports other than those?

Thanks!

    Don't input them with overlaps?

    It's really as simple as that.
    27000-27015
    27016-27030
    etc

    /edit To be even clearer the way it was written by ZOS is confusing because it doesn't need to be segregated that way. A forwarded port is a forwarded port with whatever rules you apply to it. 27000-27050 is sufficient for what you are trying to do.
