| ==Allowing Port Forwarding==
| | # Making a Muitlplayer account (MP) |
| A second option is to allow Port Forwarding in the host router of one of the players. This process requires access to the Local Router, which differs from brand to brand.
| | If you want to make a muitlplayer account it a simple. |
|
| |
|
| This guide will give you the basics of Port Forwarding. For more detailed information, check the documentation of your router.
| | Go boot up the game & click on muitlplayer tab then click on create account. |
|
| |
|
| In order to do port forwarding, you need to have access to your router's configuration. If you are in a shared network, where someone else has control over it, it won't be possible to follow this guide.
| | For creating account you need your email account & password to make an account. |
|
| |
|
| ===Accessing the Router===
| | Password generator link here https://www.lastpass.com/features/password-generator#generatorTool |
| Depending on the brand that you have, it might change slightly on how you access it, but these are are the basic steps to do so.
| |
|
| |
|
| | If you manage to make a password I recommended keep that password remember (I recommend to write down on spare piece of paper or phone notepad easy to remember) |

| | #2. Play with friends on MP |
| On Windows, you can search cmd, and once running it, type '''ipconfig'''. It will show you the default gateway, which is the 'address' or IP number where you can access your router. Copy and paste that number, search it in any internet browser such as Firefox or Chrome.
| | To play with friends on MP they need to make an account then you need to have internet connection to do it. |
|
| |
|
| Take note of the '''IP Address''' that is listed in the results of '''ipconfig''' as it will be needed in later steps.
| | To host a MP match please click on Server Host tab & click on any maps you want to play |
|
| |
|
| To access the configuration, you will need the username and password. Depending on your Internet Service provider, this will change, however, you can always try accessing with the default password which is on the sticker of the router.
| | Once that done have fun! |
|
| |
|
| There is also a guide on the default passwords for many providers in the USA [https://weakwifisolutions.com/default-router-login-details-guide-for-american-isps/ here]

|
| ===Changing the Configuration of the Ports=== | | ==Connecting to a VPN== |
| Under Application or Service Name, put '''Commander Wars''' ; Commander Wars uses port 9000 by default set it for both '''Internal Port''' and '''External Port''', this can be done in the configuration under 'Port Forwarding', sometimes also available under 'Virtual Server'; the exact location depends on your '''Router Brand'''.
| | Some users connect to a VPN and then use the IPs that are provided by the VPN when connecting to the game. A popular option is to connect through Hamachi. You can check out the Hamachi documentation here: https://documentation.logmein.com/documentation/EN/pdf/Hamachi/LogMeIn_Hamachi_UserGuide.pdf |
| | |
| In the option for '''Protocol''', you can put '''Both''' or '''TCP/UDP''', and on the '''Device IP''', choose your own IP, which you got from the '''ipconfig''' command, previously.
