Firstly you need to find your ipv4 address and default gateway. You can search this up by going to command prompt and typing ipconfig there.
You then type in your default gateway on the search bar at the top of your search engine (near the bookmarks if on google for example).
You will then go into a login page for your internet modem. You need to search google for the default username and password as it is different for every company/router model.
Sometimes the user is admin and the password is password.
Once you get in, look for something like "PortForwarding" or "game services". If none are in there, but there is "Advanced view", check there.
If you've checked everything, send me a screenshot of the page you go in after the login
First off, How do I open a free server?
--------------------------------------------------------
Can someone steal my IP address or anything else if I open up a free server?
For PC, You have to portforward your ip address to the port 25565
and download the mc server jar: https://minecraft.net/en-us/download/server/
You then open the server, accept eula and open the server again and you've made your own server!
From the minecraft client, you just type in you public ip address, simply found by searching ip on google or ipconfig on cmd.
Do you want to know how to portforward or is this information enough?
Yes how do I portforward?
