Find Your Local IP Address:

1. Open Command Prompt:
	1.1 Press the Windows key.
	1.2 Type in cmd and press Enter.

2. Get Local IP:
	2.1 In the Command Prompt window, type ipconfig and press Enter.
	2.2 Look for "IPv4 Address" under your active network connection – write down the numbers next to it. This is your local IP.
	
	Note: Your local IP is like your computer's home address on your network, in the last step it will become clear.

Access Router Settings:

3. Router Login:
	3.1 Open your web browser (like Chrome or Edge).
	In the address bar, type your router's IP address (common ones are 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) and press Enter.
	You will need a username and password.
	
	Note: This step differs between a lot of people because each internet provider might use different addresses or
	settings. Go to your router and look at the back for the default username and password, fill those in.
	
Set Up Port Forwarding:

4. Navigate to Port Forwarding Section:
	4.1 Inside your router settings, look for a section called "Port Forwarding" or "Network settings" It might be under 'Advanced Settings' or 'Security.'
	
	Note: This is where the specifics can differ. Routers have different interfaces, and even if you have the same router
	model, your internet provider might customize things. Keep an eye out for terms like "NAT" in your router settings.
	If you cant find the port forwarding page, google your router name with the text "port forwarding"

5. Find an option like "Add," "Create," or "New."
	5.1 Give your rule a name, like "Timberborn."
	5.2 Enter your local IP address (the one you wrote down from step 2.2).
	5.3 Choose port 25565, If the system asks for a start and end port (or a translation start and endport), choose 25565 for both (or all)
	5.4 Choose the protocol TCP and UDP, if u can only make one, choose TCP first and make another rule for DCP with the same settings.
