Securing a server
« on: November 19, 2014, 03:51:41 AM »
Firstly id like to say Hi because im new here, Ive being a big fan of war3 mods in cs for years. Ever since i played it on cs 1.6.

Anyway im really interested in running my own server and have it all set up and ready to go. But im just wondering if its safe to run a public Counter-strike server out of my home network.
Is there a risk in having my Ip address widely viable, and having ports forwarded? And if so, is there anyway i can secure my server from people trying to get into it?

Thanks for the help!
