Here's a short guide to help you get started hosting a server, which might not be as specific as you need but will at least help you know what to google if need be...

  1. Most guides recommend you have a Static IP address (meaning your IP doesn't change if you disconnect-reconnect). I don't know if that's a requirement but it's a good thing to have in any case. If you're unsure if your IP is static or not you can check your IP, turn off and on your router and check the IP again.
  2. You will need to access your Internet router's (modem) settings. You do this by putting your router's IP address in your browser (common examples: http://192.168.1.1/ http://192.168.20.1/ ) and logging in (will likely be using a factory default login like "admin" for both user and pass). If you're not sure of any of these things you should check your router's guides.
  3. Find the section in your router's settings called "Port Forwarding" (it's likely under a Firewall/Security section or might even be in a videogame specific section).
  4. Add a port forwarding entry for your public Restricted-RPS server by inputting the port you're using for the server, setting the protocol to TCP (and some require setting the external port to one which allows the internet to access such as the following example which needs 2 added to the IP address).
