Server Issues -- People Unable to Connect

Console.log is attached.
I think this is due to my router having UPnP disabled.
I would have gotten into the router and enabled UPnP, had I know the password...
After talking to with my parents about the password, they say that they're worried about our wireless getting slowed down by people connecting to my server, and about the well-being of my computer.
So that leaves it to you, forum.
If people are able to connect to my server, will it slow down my wireless ? If so, how much ?
And is it possible for someone to move any form of file from their computer to mine (through Blockland, of course) ?
Thanks in advance.

hosting a server will not endanger you, your files, your internet, or your parents in any way

I checked your console.log and UPnP is failing to work on your server. Like you said, you need to make sure that UPnP is enabled on your router.

You could always google for the default password of the router model you are using, that is if the password hasn't been changed.

It depends on what kind of internet your parents are paying for. If you have fast internet, it won't slow it down that much (Depends on how many players are connected to the server though. 16 players connected at once doesn't really slow down fast internet that much.). If you have slow internet, it could effect your internet a lot.

If you don't have the add-on "Eval" enabled on your server (Which allows SAs to mess around with your server's console.), then no, there is no way way for others to hack your computer through Blockland.
