• Hosting with a custom port?
    2 replies, posted
So, im trying to host a server.. I had 27015 and 27005 open, it worked like a charm. An hour or so later.. its just not working.. According to the router page is open.. Then i decided to call my ISP, some lady tells me blablablab im not allowed to open ports i need to pay for blablalbla service..... That "service" is extremely fucking expensive.... 5000 USP (URuguayan Pesos) Thats more than the half of the minimum wage. So... according to the forums, i can open a 4 digit port. But... source/Steam uses 5 digit ports.. so what can i do? I know.. my isp is a scam, but i have no alternatives :(
well the realistic nature is that you really shouldn't host a server. your ISP can and might disconnect your service for running something against their ToS. Anyway. you should be able to run a server on pretty much any port you wish, you just need to open it through your firewall and your router/modem, then adjust your game server's config file to use whichever port you want.

According to another thread on FP i said it would just give a error in steam downloads but i will give it a shot..
