I'm sending simple messages from an Android client to a PC server using TCP sockets. They are on the same WiFi network (connected to the same router). Do I need port forwarding for this?

Answer 1

No, you do not need to port forward. You might need to open the port on your firewall, however, so make sure you do so. Port forwarding is for opening ports to external networks.
