Port Forwarding Multiple Devices To The Same Ports
Hello, I need to forward multiple devices (a desktop and a laptop) through the same ports on my router, but attempting to do so through www.cox.com/mywifi gives an error that each port can only forward a single device. Is there a way to work around this?

Have you tried to set up your Port Forwarding through the Admin Tool (link below)? Once you are logged in click on Advanced on the left-hand side then Port Forwarding.

One work around is to use a VPN service on one of the devices.

Do you mean that you have 2 devices and you want to forward the same inbound port to both devices? For example, you want to forward port 1234 to 192.168.1.1 but you also want to forward it to 192.168.1.2 at the same time? That's not possible on any device because it doesn't make sense. What if both devices are on at the same time? Which one is supposed to respond?
There are workarounds you can do by forwarding different inbound ports to the same destination port but you would need to provide more details such as the particular port/service you want to forward if you want help with those.
