I'm trying to prove to someone that port forwarding is safe so that I can host servers. Multiple sources would be nice and one example of a BAD SOURCE would be from Badspot's Port Forwarding Tutorial. Sure, it says port forwarding "will not open you up to being hacked," but it also says "Kids: Don't ask your parents, just try it when they're not home." Thankyou for reading. |

As of I think v12 Port Forwarding is no longer required for hosting Blockland servers, just enable UPnP(Universal Plug and Play) On BL and your Router settings and your ready to host. However port forwarding is safe, and no they can't "Hack" you. But Honestly enabling UPnP would save you more time, its easier and is more secure. |

I made sure that UPnP was enabled on my router and in BL and I still can't host. |

Port forwarding for BL servers is perfectly safe. Source: All the people that do it and don't get hacked. |

I've had my ports open for blockland and many other games for almost 5 years now. Some people just as long if not longer. If it were unsafe I think all the people who've done it this far would have sad something. Also tell the person that many HUGE game companies sometimes have you open your ports for their games. AND, if it were unsafe to do at all why would they have the settings in just about every router available. |
