Plutonium

RedxSkull Well i don't keep the servers open 24/7. So i really don't think i'm at risk. Plus its just a bot warfare server. What could they get by accessing my ip? I could care less if i get ddosed, but anything past that is concerning. I'm guessing there is no free way to be safe proof? also If you could help me set up openvpn id really appreciate it

RedxSkull I thought open vpn would keep me safe? All I want to do is host a bot warfare server without my data being at risk. I heard openvpn could help because its free and money is tight. I saw most people that host a server run it off there own ipv4, so i just don't want to get hacked

I have dedicated servers on my laptop for waw, mw3, black ops 1, and black ops 2 and usually host them with my ipv4 but put a password on it just to play with friends. But i have a want it to be an open server without the risk of getting ddosed or my public ip being exposed. I read on the forum that you can host a server with openvpn to avoid this, so my question is to get help to set up openvpn for the server, so i can make the server open and anyone could join without the risk of my ip being shown. I made some post in the discord but either got baited or spammed laugh emoji's at, so i thought the professional way would be to ask on here. If anyone can help me set up openvpn to host a server with, id really appreciate it. I already have my server set up and it works and everything, no issues. But i want to put openvpn on it to keep my ip hidden, thanks.
