Hello, I need to set up some ports on your router for external access. These screenshots show the configuration steps—first pick the connection type, but I’m unsure what to select. After that, a window appears for IP settings, but I’m not sure which fields to fill.

Establish communication with the designated server for its intended function. Accessing ports only if the service is meant for public exposure can lead to issues.

I'm setting up a HLDS game server, so other players need to join. Yeah, I realize it's not ideal, but it's just for testing now. Eventually I'll have a dedicated server, which means issues will only affect that one.

Usually you enter the server's IP address, like 192.168.1.x, and use the same for both ends. Determine the required port for the game server—start and end—and specify whether it uses UDP, TCP, or both.
