What do you want to achieve?

From what i remember you have to open the ports 2302 and 2303 then you have to give your friend your ipv4 then tell them to connect via the remote button

[Przemek_kondor]

depends what he wants to achieve:
-play with friend(s): then the easiest way IMO is to join one of the public servers (since hosting own server isn't trivial)
-host public dedicated server (open ports, setup config file, report to master server)
-host temporary server for friend(s) (open ports)
-start local server to test MP mission
-other

If you want to play OFP / CWA in Multiplayer:
Get OFPMonitor https://github.com/Poweruser/OFPMonitor/releases
Add this to the Settings > Master Server: Master.OFPisNOTDEAD.com
You will then see all the servers.
Also, the servers are listed here http://kondor.armagame.pl/ofp_servers.html
Go Multiplayer Remote and copy/paste the IP/Port of the server from the real time list or use OFPMonitor.

To start a server, need to open up the port range 2302-2310 on your router and also use the server.cfg

// (to login use #login password)
// important to add master.ofpisnotdead.com

passwordAdmin = "admin"; // password to protect admin access change to whatever

hostname="=SCoRPioN='s SERVER FileDropper.com/MFCTI";

motd[]=

{

"Welcome to =SCoRPioN='s DEDICATED SERVER! NO LAG HERE!",

"DOWNLOAD MFCTI ADDON (only 1MB) > www.FileDropper.com/MFCTI",

"CRCTI & MFCTI, COOP REVIVE, BF & Other Missions!",

"Visit my channel when bored :) Youtube.com/DCSMPVideos",

"Type #vote admin your number from #userlist and if I'm on the server but AFK, slot me in, I'm autogreen!",

}; // Welcome message

motdInterval=5;

voteThreshold=0.33; // when one third agrees, this is enough to confirm a vote

reportingIP="master.ofpisnotdead.com"; // private server - no reporting

voteMissionPlayers=1; // start voting when 3 players connect

MaxMsgSend = 512;

MinBandwidth = 768000;

// checkfiles[]={"HWTL\dta\data3d.pbo","dta\data3d.pbo"}; //list of files to check for identity

// kickduplicate=1; // do not allow duplicate id

// equalModRequired=1; // require equal mod

You can host your own (local) server using hamachi, this way you can play any mod you want with your friends at any time.This is the easiest way and it costs nothing compared to setting up regular server.

No reason to use Hamachi when there's OFPMonitor and this server list link: http://kondor.armagame.pl/ofp_servers.html

He wants to host his OWN server, not to join existing ones. As far as I know, OFPMonitor doesn't create tunnel(LAN connection) between you and your friends just like Hamachi does

This line in server.cfg makes the server appear to everyone online:
reportingIP="master.ofpisnotdead.com";

No need to use a 3rd party software like Hamachi.
Can set a password to the server if want a private game.

The servers can be seen with OFPMonitor or http://kondor.armagame.pl/ofp_servers.html
Add this to the OFPMonitor Settings > Master Server: Master.OFPisNOTDEAD.com

There are over 20 servers currently and we played games with over 20 players this and last weekend also. Come play with us!
