Question about V9 Server Hosting...

[Hephaestus]

Is it true that you will not have to port forward to host non-dead servers in V9?

Thanks.

If you don't have to portforward for V9... *shudder* so many noobs...

If you don't have to port forward, There should be some test or requirement you need to fill.

You have to port forward for pretty much all network traffic, not just Blockland.  It's just that some programs (and routers) support auto-configuration (the program sends the necessary ports and the router does the rest).

No, stuff usually cant port forward itself.

Firewalls, general router compatibility things etc. would get in the way i would think. (and even if it could you would have to set up a static IP)

I do know of stuff that can port forward itself, I've seen it somewhere but I'm not sure...

But as for a game like blockland i wouldn't think so.

Good point Trader, i've had to port forward several of my programs to get them to run at full speed.
