Before portforwarding, what should I try?
Heitmeyers:
Alright, so first off, my parents are paranoid about portforwarding, and my mom thinks that portforwarding allows other "users" to hack in to our internet (all the computers in our house) and attack them with viruses, trojans, etc. I hate how my mom is paranoid like that, so I'm just asking, What should I try/do BEFORE portforwarding?

First off, what is the problem with blockland...

Download PF config, then enter the ports into it, (when your parents aren't home)
Then delete the program, and no one will ever know.
That's what I did.

Port forwarding is about as safe as anything else, all it's doing is redirecting certain traffic to your computer.
Unless you can port forward or enable UPnP, the chances are you won't be able to host an internet server for blockland.

Hmm, I'll probably do that.
Also, if you even can get hacked through hosting a server, they would just be able to get to your blockland folder, correct? (or is none of that even possible)
