Explanation

If you want to host a server, you need to let other players connect to your computer over the internet. To do this, you have to change some settings in your router. This is called port forwarding. You don’t need any other software like Hamachi or Radmin to play the game

Accessing your router

First, you need to find out your router’s IP address.
- Windows: Open the Start Menu and type Command Prompt. Click on it when it appears. A window will open. Type this command:
  ipconfig | findstr /i “Gateway”
- Linux: Open a terminal and type this command:
  ip route | grep default
You will see an IP address. Copy it and paste it in your web browser.
You will see your router’s homepage. It will ask you for a username and password. Sometimes they are on a sticker on the router. If not, you can search for them online or contact your internet provider.
After you log in, look for the port forwarding settings.

Adding a rule to your router

Next, you need to find out your computer's IP address.
- Windows: Go back to the Command Prompt and type this command:
  ipconfig | findstr /i "Gateway"
- Linux: Open a terminal and type this command:
  hostname -I
You will see an IP address that is similar to your router's IP address. Copy it to your clipboard.
Now go back to the port forwarding page on your router and create a new rule.
Set the IP to the one from your clipboard
Set start port and end port to 27015 (external and internal if asked)
Set protocol to UDP

Example setup:
Save the changes

Starting the server

Finally, you need to create a server in the game. To do this, you have to:

Go to the game and click on Create Server
Make sure that LAN Only is turned off
Click on Start

To anyone who is wondering, your ISP may no longer allow you to do this in the 2020s.

If your public IPv4 address is not fixed, it most likely means you're under CGNAT.

In the event you STILL want to do this, you can call your ISP and ask for a fixed IPv4 address, then the guide will work.
