How do I connect to a port forwarded server?
I have a Port Forward set up for port 3784. What is the IP that is used to connect to the server? I want to create a Garrys Mod Dedicated server on my old crappy computer, and im not sure how to get my server exposed to the internet.
You can find your external IP on www.whatismyip.com. As said above, you’ll have to have a static IP for this matter. The way to do port forwarding, on the modem you’ll have to set-up a forwarding of UDP traffic to whatever port is used to your machine (check the local IP of this machine, and set it to static too)
Simple
#1 ensure that you have a static IP as supplied by the ISP
#2 launch your browser
#3 key in the ip in the address bar
#4 you may need to include the port number but it should not be needed
#5 if the port number is required you are configured wrong
#6 So the address is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx for IPv4
#7 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx for IPv6
