Arma Private Session/Server Help

[CyberDOLT]

It's been a long time since I set up a private session / server that I can mess around with friends on. I don't remember how to properly do it. Is this port forwarding correct or ? IDK. I'm absolutely trash at this.

Make sure you have UPNP enabled on your router. If you do and tick the box in Arma 3 when hosting Arma 3 will open port 2302 for you when needed but you must have UPNP enabled from within your router settings. 

So from the server browser in Arma 3 -> click Host server -> Then click from LAN to Internet -> Tick UPNP

There you go no port forwarding because hurray for UPNP. 

PS. UPNP stands for Universal Plug and Play
