drlawldozer Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I'm worried about having issues. So, what are the risks to my personal computer, and what are the risks to giving out my external ip? Will setting up and running a server damage my computer or mess with my wireless connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torezu Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 With proper AV/spam/malware protection, and port-forwarding through a router, risks are minimal. How would your computer be damaged unless you're running the server all the time with insufficient cooling or something? I would not recommend using a wireless connection to run a server, as they are inherently slower and less stable. It's possible, but not recommended. Also, you're in the wrong section.
