    My way of hosting SRB2 these (RECENT) days.

    HELLO ALL you (Newbs And Pros) People!
    I have been hosting lately with this kind of technique on srb2 for a while...
    NO MORE USE FOR DEFAULT PORTS... YAY!

    There is ONE way to host srb2 without using the DEFAULT ports... If you have existing Ports in your computer here's how to find them.
    Start Menu -> Computer -> the scroll box, find network -> right click the gateway device, and select properties -> click the settings box -> Find a existing port -> Edit it so the port number is 4 numbers...
    Now, exit all that stuff and here's what i do with that port.
    (optional Steam)
    add srb2 to your steam library and right click the name and select properties.
    At the end of the target name... Add "-udpport" Then put the port you already have in there...
    example...
    "C:\Users\(USERNAME)\Desktop\srb2\srb2win.exe" -udpport 3698"
    That's my directory, of course.
    (THE SRB2 LAUNCHER WAY)
    Almost same as above.
    Just launch the srb2 launcher, then go to the command line perimeters. then add
    "-udpport" Then the port you have. Then LAUNCH!
    CONGRATULATIONS, YOU CAN HOST SRB2! c:

    My main question, Will it still appear on the SRB2 MS If this is used?

    So you say this can basically be an easy fix temp for people who complain about portforwarding?

    Or you could just man up and portforward.
    It's actually very simple once you know how to do it, whenever my ports change I just go on my router and forward the ports in 30 seconds, efficient and no time wasted.

    Yes, but some people have routers from lesser known companies that may or may not be easy to find on the list of routers the website for PFing offers. Not to mention some people have parents who are mildly tech-wise enough to set a password on their router. This makes a big solution for tons of SRB2 players, even if it may not be as solid as PortForwarding, it is something that works if Port Forwarding does not for them (despite how easy it is)
