Starting a server should be disabled to the user if they haven't port-forwarded.

Enable UPnP on your router. For most routers, it should be enabled by default, though.

There's a program called "Portmapper" that acts like you're opening ports via UPnP. You don't need your router's admin password to do it, either.

To test if your port forwarded or whatever, couldnt you get in-game server search, find your server and look for any signs off ping?

Kalphiter:
No ping
No players
No service

Anyway, I somewhat support this and somewhat disagree.

There have been times, even before blockland supported UPnP that people were able to join my server without me port-forwarding.
There have also been times when I had port forwarded and nobody was able to join.
