I am making a minecraft server for me and my friends but one of them lives across the state and we want to play on a forge server. The only thing i can find is that you should port forward the server but i just don't know how to. I am running on xfinity xfi. Also my sister uses the wifi would it ever affect her and can i set it back to the original port. I don't understand what port forwarding is so sorry if it is confusing.  I just cant seem to understand it

Port forwarding is exposing a device on your network to the internet through a specific port.

This is something you'll have to look up on your own as it's different for every router.

This is my Forum Signature, I am currently attempting to transform it into a small guide for fixing easier issues using spoiler blocks to keep things tidy.

 

As the most common issue I feel I should put this outside the main bulk:

The only official source for Forge is https://files.minecraftforge.net, and the only site I trust for getting mods is CurseForge.

If you use any site other than these, please take a look at the StopModReposts project and install their browser extension, I would also advise running a virus scan.

 

For players asking for assistance with Forge please expand the spoiler below and read the appropriate section(s) in its/their entirety.
