How to Port Forward Terraria

WipingBride·2 years ago

Port forwarding for Terraria is pretty straightforward but depends on your router. Generally, you'll access your router's admin page, often found at 192.168.1.1 or a similar address. Look for a section named 'Port Forwarding', 'Apps and Gaming', or something similar. You'll want to forward TCP and UDP ports 7777 (the default Terraria port) to your computer's IP address. Make sure your PC has a static IP, so it doesn't change and mess up your setup. After that, your friends should be able to join you using your external IP address. Always remember to keep your firewall settings in check to allow Terraria through!

Listen, I tried once, followed all the steps, and it still didn't work. Ended up just playing on public servers instead. Sometimes it's just not worth the hassle.

Honestly, unless you're super tech-savvy, getting a friend to host or using a dedicated Terraria server hosting service might be easier. Trying to mess with router settings can be a headache if you're not familiar!
