Port forwarding

In order for other players to connect to your server, you must open a specific port on your router. SCP: SL defaults to port 7777, so we highly recommend this is the port that you open. Additionally, you must open your port for UDP, not TCP or TCP/UDP.

The Northwood Technical Support team cannot assist you with Port Forwarding, as every router is unique. We highly recommend opening a discourse with your Internet Service Provider (ISP)’s support team, or with your Router manufacturer.

In most cases, however, simply typing “How to port forward (Router Name)” into Google will yield a comprehensive tutorial.

We do not provide support for port forwarding due to how different it may be for each router.
