 ## Everything works, but they can't join my server??? 
 Make sure to see if your firewall isn't preventing people from joining your server! You can test this by disabling your public network firewall. Instructions for Windows systems can be found [here](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/turn-microsoft-defender-firewall-on-or-off-ec0844f7-aebd-0583-67fe-601ecf5d774f). If you don't feel comfortable disabling the entire network, you can allow ORRH and the various clients you want to host to bypass your firewall.

 ## I don't have direct access to my router! (portmapper)
 You can use [PortMapper](https://github.com/kaklakariada/portmapper)! *DISCLAIMER:* This only works for routers that have [UPnP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Plug_and_Play) enabled.
 1. Read the [README](https://github.com/kaklakariada/portmapper/blob/main/README.md) on the program's github and download from either its [Releases](https://github.com/kaklakariada/portmapper/releases) or [SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/upnp-portmapper/files/latest/download) page

 7. Send people your external address (IP) and port with the format *IP:Port*. You can also join your server through this as well. 
 *DISCLAIMER:* If your external address starts with 192.168 (not your external address), You can instead find your real IP through https://whatismyipaddress.com/ (IPv4). If connecting through that still does not work, then unfortunately, portmapper may not work for you.

 You can use a service like [PortMap](http://portmap.io) (NOT PORTMAPPER) or [PlayIt](http://playit.gg)
