Hi Beginner here. I create a dedicated server with this nice tutorial: > **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)** > > After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline. These resources now live on a new community-run Unreal Engine Community Wiki — ue4community.wiki! You will be able to find content from the official... My server is working fine (local) on my PC and I can join with multiple players by opening multiple time my cooked build. But external friends can’t join. (Classic) I change my Blueprint and Add my home IP (google MyIP) not working. I read some post about this topic and sounds like I need to open a port (Port forwarding) I just want to be sure with my settings on my Asus router. see picture. Thanks 🙂 ![213725-port-fowarding.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/f/6/4/f64210f31d57153280bc3548b1d79e4d78a72e1f.jpeg) ---

My settings work for my dedicated server now. I check ipconfig in the CMD widows and I copy my IPV4 address into my blueprint. I did not take the one from MyIP from Google search. Also, my main problem was that no one was able to join my session. I found out that my network was PUBLIC instead of PRIVATE on the network center window. I change that for Private. So the next time the Firewall window come out to ask me to enable Private or public or both and I choose to enable Private, it is now working. The problem before was that I was attempting to enable Private but my Home network was public for a reason I don’t know. Hope it can help a beginner like me. ---
