Dedicated Server

[Kvasy]

Does anyone know if there is a way to either:

A) Host a dedicated server
or
B) If there isn't yet, are there plans to add this?

It seems like it is all run via Valve servers currently, I am just curious.

I saw a server in the server list that was marked as a "dedicated server" and had a 50 player cap. So it should be possible! I don't know how though

yes

step won: buy webfishing on a new account

step too: rent a server (preferably one that runs archlinux, since they boot in five seconds (i'll talk about this on step fo), ask your provider. steamOS also works since its centered entirely around the service you want but idk about boot times)

step tree: configure that server to run webfishing on boot from that new account, and use a macro script to automatically open a server.

step fo: check that server every once in a while to make sure grincher or etc. hasn't kicked it off the list. (this is why you need a fast booting pc, the game lobby will probably be down a lot so it's best to reboot the whole dang thing if it messes up to fix hackers and technical stuff easily)

that's my take, do it your way though if you have a better one
