Hello i have srcds running and working a dedicated server over my LAN but i am looking to put it aacessible voer the internet instead and someone has told me that i need to open ports on my router but i know that this can sometimes leave me open to hackers. Is there a way i can put it the other site of my router so that firewall still protects me from intruders. Please email waterbird4@hotmail.com if you are willing to give me step by step guide or just post a quick reply to this thread. Thanks in advance.

Unless you hack yourself the chance of being "hacked" is less than 0.00001% I wouldn't worry about it too much.
If you behave on the net hackers are like a myth

Well to be honest, I've been running my server without any protection at all for about 6 months now, I am tracking incoming stuff etc, no hack attempts at all (just some portscans but hey..that's not even close to hacking). Before, with protection I had a total of 1 noob attempt which was doomed anyways, even if it wasn't protected at all
NOTE: This server is connected DIRECTLY to the internet with a modem, so all ports are open and there's no firewalls.

I bet he is setting up some noob hacker to get into his computer.
