Nothing to forward with the Tunnel
Choose Tunnel on the Connection step when you create the server, or turn it on from the Details tab, and send friends the Server Address. No router or firewall settings to change.
Ports are handled for you
HaruHost gives every server its own ports, with the Tunnel or without it, so two servers never clash and you never set one by hand. The Details tab lists them under Ports In Use.
Hosting on your own address
- The ports: UDP 34197 by default.
- On Windows: turn on Auto-manage UPnP and Auto-manage Firewall and HaruHost opens the ports on your router and in Windows Firewall when the server starts. Or forward your port range once; HaruHost shows the rule under Devices → Manage device → Network Settings.
- On a VPS: open your port range for UDP in the provider's firewall; HaruHost shows it under Devices → Manage device → Network Settings.
Questions
