how to get friend to teleport through my portal?

[Average AMD neanderthal]

i want my friend to easily be able to teleport to my base. is it possible to get this done without having him place down a base PC and put down his own?

if he tries to teleport there it says 'downloading..'

Meet your friend in the Anomaly. The last base you uploaded should show up in the teleporter.

cool, is there a way to avoid that unwanted guests join too?

Maybe that's what the "Multiplayer" button is for on the opening screen? You only share a session with your group. Not sure, I never used it. But the portal is only open while you're in the anomaly. Its rare to have someone standing waiting to jump through random portals.

If you mean for quick reference once they join your session and before y'all part ways for the day have them teleport out from yiur space station. I'm not exactly what the criteria is to get player bases to show up in the portal menu, though. Might be the same as space stations or just simply showing up at your base.

You can set your Network setting for friends only I believe. You can also dismiss "randos" from your game in the moment if they get creepy hanging around. Often times, they are just curious tourist and will pretty much leave you alone. They may stop by for a quick hello.

I usually only dismiss a player if I know I am not protected by network settings or if I have not finished exploring the area yet.

AFAIK nope there isn't any true private lobby. The MP button at start tries to make you join the same lobby where is your friend. But if and when it works you join him/her in the same lobby that could contain other players and other could come and go after... ...If it really works then you and your friend are in the same group.
And you can give permissions to the group you are in.

...Actually sometimes the MP refuses to work, mostly it depends by the ISP, I'm aware of that because using my main ISP mostly doesn't work at all, if I use another ISP, sharing a 4G Internet Connection it mostly works...

EDIT: Naturally if your friend tries to join you and the lobby is full (s)he will unable to join... ...it happens a lot in very crowded star systems, just a mere example expedition ones when the expedition is live...
