If you want to host [[en/Manual/Multiplayer|multiplayer network games]], you need to set up an OpenTTD '''server''' on your computer. Skip to "Starting the server" if all players will be connected to your home network.
== If you are using a firewall ==
For your safety, do ''not'' disable your firewall entirely. Instead, configure it to allow UDP and TCP connections to port '''3979''' ("port opening"). If you want your server to be visible on the public [http://www.openttd.org/en/servers server list] as well (recommended), you will also need to open port '''3978''' to UDP connections only.

== If you are connecting to the Internet through a router ==
You need to tell the router to send game data from players outside of your home network to the computer that will be running your OpenTTD server. Else, the data will simply be discarded before it ever reaches the server. This is an example of [https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port forwarding port forwarding]; in this case, '''UDP and TCP''' connections to port '''3979''' will need to be forwarded. (If you can't use port 3979 for some reason, you can make OpenTTD use another port by entering "server_port <number>" into the game's console.)

You will need to consult your router manual or search for instructions specific to your router. Not all router firmware includes this functionality, unfortunately; you will need to purchase a replacement router or install unofficial firmware if this is the case.

Make sure you've instructed the router to send the game data to the correct computer. If you want your server to be visible on the public [http://www.openttd.org/en/servers server list] (recommended), you will also need to forward '''UDP''' connections to port '''3978'''.
