In the new window, the port must be selected -> Next -> Select TCP or UDP -> Enter one of the above ports under “Specific local ports” -> Next -> Allow connection -> Next -> Activate domain/private/public (Hack must be in there) -> Next -> Assign names (bijv.

Port forwarding router

Here I show you the port forwarding as an example on a Fritzbox 7430!

If you have a different router, find out how port forwarding works on your router. This is only an example and can be different to other routers.

The ports that must be are the following: TCP 27015, TCP 7777 and UDP 27015 for IPv4 and IPv6 respectively.

Open fritz.box in your browser and log in with your access data (found on a sticker in the manual or on the bottom of the router).
Then click on Internet -> Permit Access. In the Port Sharing tab, klik op “Add device for sharing” in the lower area.

As a device you select your PC on which the server is running. (If you don’t know the PC name, press the Windows key and type in Info, which opens the System Information app. System name is the name of the PC.).
Scroll down a bit and click New Share in the bottom right.
The window should then look like this:

Eindelijk, just save the Game.ini and start the server by double-clicking on “ServerStart.bat”.
