To change that, you have to tell your router to forward attempts to connect to the ports required by IL-2 to your computer instead. If your friends try to connect to your public IP-address (your internet address), they will try to connect to the router but not your computer. Your router is the only device directly connected to the internet and just forwards network packets to you via LAN. Usually attempts of doing so are blocked by your router. When your friends are not in the same LAN as you, they need to be able to reach your computer from the internet. Pitfall 2: Your computer is behind a router If your computer is directly exposed to the internet and not behind a router or your room-mate on the same LAN likes to catch viruses, never disable the firewall completely! A better approach would be to only allow the mentioned ports but since I play on Linux and just started Windows for testing if it works here too, I didn't want to spend much effort fiddling with Windows settings. I just disabled my Windows firewall completely to make sure it isn't interfering at all. In order that your friends can connect to your computer, you first need to tell the Windows firewall to not block the ports I just listed. no other port is required to be forwarded, despite what you may read in some threads. Unless you changed the default configuration. I did find a solution that works for me and probably most other people.įirst of all, when you host a game, other players will need to connect to the following ports of your machine: There is a lot of good information scattered in this forum which helped me, but nothing like an overall guide. Since I just spent a significant amount of time trying to get self-hosted coop games with my friends working, I want to share my findings with you.
