Port fowording is easy!

Step 1:

Go to your gate way and perform your port tasks

Step 2:

In your server files, Open your "Server.cfg" and make sure the port matches the port you set in your router settings.

Step 3: Turn the server on by opening samp-server.exe in your server files.

step 4: You don't use your public IP to connect to your own server. Open "Command Prompt" and type in "ipconfig". Use your ipv4 address.

Example,
If your port is 2222 and your ipv4 is 192.168.2.10.
You use 192.168.2.10:2222 to connect to your own server.


For other people to conncet to your server, They need to use your Public ip. can be found by typing "What is my ip" on ******.

Yes other peoples can join at your external ip ((www.ipchicken.com)) while you can't, Try connecting at "localhostort"
