- Port forward the UDP port 8303 through your router.
- The easiest way to do this is to simply search "how to port forward" in your preferred search engine. This process usually requires you to log into your router interface, which, again, varies per household.
- Make sure to choose the UDP setting, and not the TCP or the TCP/UDP setting.
- You can forward a port other than 8303 if you set up the desired port using
sv_portin your server autoexecutable. However, the default port is 8303 for DDNet. So, if you're not sure what you're doing, just forward port 8303.
- If you'd like your server to show up on the Internet tab, use the server setting
sv_register 1, either in the f2 console or in the server autoexecutable. Note that this will make your IP publicly viewable if you host the server from your home network. So, use at your own risk.
Some ISPs might not provide you with a full native IPv4 address, but instead use carrier-grade NAT, and will thus not support forwarding ports. In this case you can't make your LAN server available for online play.
