My parents are skeptical about me hosting.
Bisjac:
well about 100 ports are open by default as is. ones you use every day without knowing what you are doing.
having a dedicated one for a game isnt half as bad as you are already allowing.
Uxie²:
I've hosted for 4 years and nothing has happened to me.

My dad is honestly pretty loving stupid sometimes. He's an IT guy and runs his own business but really has a very limited knowledge of how networking actually works. He complains about having to fight viruses and all this other bullstuff because he's too god damn lazy to do some damn research or listen to any of my arguments. Before he did a hard reset on the router, and the password was default, I had multiple ports open and nothing happened. I told him that and he still says that it's "potentially dangerous".
lcyGamma:
I always like how people honestly believe somewhere out there is a hacker just waiting for them to open their ports. :cookieMonster:

you cant really DDoS/DoS a server unless you have acess to a server hosting service that the player was using
