the reason is because your internet isn't the greatest

either that or you haven't port-forwarded

I don't think "Changing" your port is going to help with this

I might just be talking out of my ass, someone with more knowledge of these gizmos will probably give you a more legitimate answer..

You need to port forward. You can google a tutorial. Blockland uses port 28000 by default.

Umm...Is there any other way?
the port forward thing asked for a password that i dont know.

I'm assuming that was the administrator password, if so just ask the owner of the computer.

I'm having the same-ish Problem i used to host then nobody could join for some reason

If you haven't changed your router's password it's likely still default. There are sources on the internet with a list of default usernames and passwords. Typically, the username is admin and the password blank or admin. It varies depending on the manufacturer of the router. You can go to portforward.com for help.

UPnP is supposed to work for IP's using DHCP but half the time it breaks.

It's the router's gateway password. Completely different.

This and you can find a list of default router passwords here:
http://www.routerpasswords.com/

Most of the time the router has a sticker on it somewhere with the default log-in information.
If you rent your router from your ISP, you may have to call them and ask for the gateway password.

Isnt port forwarding risky?

[Xemnas]

Isnt port forwarding risky?

Yes, It makes your computer more vulnerable to certain attacks like DoS/ DDoS. Realistically, hosting in general is risky. Your IP is openly available.

Nonsense, that you've opened a port doesn't make anything more vulnerable than it already is. If you're hosting all packets sent to that port are forwarded to blockland, which just drops useless ones. If you aren't hosting your computer will just drop them as there is nothing listening on that specific port.

Not sure what you mean with the second part. Your IP in general is public information and not dangerous.

Blockland is like the only game that uses UPnP correctly which is supposed to make it so you dont need to port forward

How are people still having these problems lmao

That it works correctly for you doesn't automatically mean it works correctly for everyone else.

Its not default...is there anyway for your computer to tell you?
