**Port forwarding is a risk**. | ||
|
||
By Port forwarding you understand the risks of opening up ports on your home network to the public and therefore void the right to hold BeamMP accountable for **any and all** damages that may happen to you or your household. | ||

## How To Set Up a Port Forward | ||
|
||
Setting up a port forward involves a few detailed network terms. Be prepared to write down a few notes as you go through the process. | ||
|
||
There are 4 major steps to setting up a port forward. | ||
|
||
### A quick guide. (A more detailed guide is below) | ||

|
||
- :material-dns:{ .lg .middle } __Assign a static IP address to your computer or devices__ | ||
|
||
--- | ||
This is needed to prevent the IP of your device changing and breaking the port forwarding rule. | ||

|
||
- :material-router-wireless:{ .lg .middle } __Log in to your router__ | ||
|
||
--- | ||
|
||
This can normally be done by finding the Default Gateway IP, which can be found using `ipconfig` in a CLI to and entering this in on a web browser. | ||
|
||
- :material-lan-connect:{ .lg .middle } __Forward ports to your computer__ | ||
|
||
--- | ||
|
||
Find the port forwarding section in your router menu. Most routers list the port forwarding section under Network, Advanced, or LAN. | ||
|
||
- :material-test-tube:{ .lg .middle } __Test that your port is forwarded properly__ | ||
|
||
--- | ||
|
||
Use a tool such as ProbablyUp to test if the rule is working. | ||
