Port Forwarding for Garry's Mod

redfinger · Jan 4, 2014

I want to make a server so my friends and I can play TTT together. I need to port forward. The issue is I'm connecting to a work modem and I'm doubting if it is safe. Could you help me out? Thanks.

What do you mean "connecting to a work modem" ?

Running through a modem at work? And you want to open up a port on it to play a game? I've seen people fired for less.

No I work from home.

I guess that would depend on the agreement you have with whoever supplied the router.

Is it to be only used for work? Or can you use it for other things?
Only you and your employer know for sure.

Put is it safe?

redfinger :

Any time you open a port through the router, you create extra vulnerabilities. "Safe" is a sliding scale.

Ok, Thanks Do you recommend doing it?

redfinger :

If you want to play that game with your friend, the port forwarding is your only real option. Only you can decide if the risk is worth the benefit.

I probably wouldn't leave it open all the time.
