View Full Version : How to Host a Server Without Portforwarding! (May not work on all routers)

Purpose: For if you don't know your Router Password or you can't Portforward.
Assumed Knowledge: Nothing!
Difficulty: 2/10.

So, there is a way to portforward your server without actually doing it! Seems complicated? Of course not! I will teach you! Also you wont have to use silly old Hamachi to have your server online. Follow my easy steps.

Step 1
First of all, you need a client and source (obviously) and figure out your port. It is usually 43594.


Step 2
Next, you need to download uTorrent. Here are some links:
Download from Cnet (Only the registered members can see the link.)
or from uTorrent site:
Download uTorrent (Only the registered members can see the link.)


Step 3
Once you have installed uTorrent go through the beginning setup. Once you have done that, at the top left corner of uTorrent click Options->Preferences->Connection. Make sure you have "Enable UPnP port mapping" checked, "Enable NAT-PMP port mapping" checked, "Randomize port each start" UN-CHECKED, and "Add Windows Firewall exception" checked. Next, where it has the blank, and the button "Random Port" next to it, enter in your port. The usual port is 43594 like I said before. Here is a picture
Only the registered members can see the link.
Click "Apply" and then "OK". Now you can exit out of that because it just minimizes it when you close it. ALWAYS KEEP IT UP TO HAVE YOUR SERVER RUN! Now we are done with the uTorrent part.


Step 4
Now, to get an ip for you. You want to use a No-ip so you don't get your computer messed up by HaCkSoRz. So, go to No-IP - Dynamic DNS, Static DNS for Your Dynamic IP (Only the registered members can see the link.) and register or log in if you have already made an account. Once you log in, click "Add a Host". You should only fill out the "Hostname:" (which is your Server Name) and the part to the right of it that says "zapto.org". Change that to "no-ip.biz" and keep everything else the same a click "Create Host" on the bottom right screen.
Only the registered members can see the link.


Step 5
Open up your Client files and go to Gui.java. Search for

Serverip =
and replace the ip with your ip that you just created on No-ip.com. Save and Compile and that's it for the Client Files


Step 6
Now all you have to do is download No-IP Duc. Go the home page and on the top right there is a download tab. Select your operating system and click download. Once that downloads run it and run through the installization. Open it up or it should automatically start up after you install. Log in onto your account you made or had made before and your host should be there listed below --Hosts--. Check mark it until you get a smiley face that is blushing.
Only the registered members can see the link.
Now you are done with the No-ip part.


Step 7, The Final Step
Once you have all that done, you need to completely exit out of No-IP Duc and Utorrent. Run your source's Run.bat. Then open up No-IP Duc and Utorrent. That is how you should start your server your first time like if you turned your computer off for instance. If you don't do it in that order, YOUR Run.bat WILL SAY "Server already in use". So you must do it in that order. Here are steps simplified -
Step 1 - Open your source and run your server.
Step 2 - Open up uTorrent and No-IP Duc
Step 3 - Make sure your smiley on No-IP Duc is blushing and checked
Step 4 - ENJOY YOUR SERVER BEING NON HAMACHI!


Credits : 70% to Zak for teaching me how to do this ( I just simplified this )
Credits : 30% to Stapler for actually fixing it up and getting it to work and posting tutorial


Enjoy!

No, as long as you know the password to your router (if it has one)

That basically is a small way of portforwarding, but it doesn't always work. Some routers still require you to have the password to your router, to accept utorrent. In which if they had that they would probably be able to portforward on their own.

Thanks for informing those who don't know about utorrent though.

Magic™
July 19th, 2010, 06:28
I know that lol. This is a tut for those fortunate people that utorrent allows.

Uhmm.. Ok.. But don't you think the reason that most people can't portforward is that they don't have a static IP? Btw without static IP you can forget portforwarding with any.. uTorrent won't work too :S

It doesnt work with all routers. Only some routers allow utorrent portforwarding. That is your problem.

For all you who say it doesn't work.
This will not work on some routers because they block how you do it.
