Mod edit 6/28/23, Isles487: Add UDP 53, we need this for DNS. Specify TCP for the other ports.
Going to put this here for now since this where the other info on this topic already is.
For those interested, here is a text file tutorial of setting up your own server using the VirtualBox image that refan988 (i think?) exported and posted earlier in this thread.
If there are any errors in my info here pls let me know and i'll amend it. I am not super knowledgeable when it comes to modern technology because this stuff was not around in common usage until long after i finished high school so bear with me. However I am usually very good at clearly explaining things in simple terms so that others can understand and hopefully easily follow.

How to set up your own private Biohazard Outbreak server to play online
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What you need:
1. Your public IPv4 address
https://www.whatismyip.com/
2. VirtualBox Manager
https://www.oracle.com/virtualization/t ... loads.html
3. OutbreakServerGUI.ova
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kBbvdS ... XPxh7/view
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The best (?) order to set everything up:
Step 1
Get Your Public IPv4 address
Simply go to
https://www.whatismyip.com/ and make a note of Your Public IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx that is displayed.
This will be your server address just like the obsrv.org server address is 173.198.207.99
[Note: this is NOT your PC's IP address. I made this error and had to get help to correct some settings.]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 2
Install VirtualBox Manager
Download from
https://www.oracle.com/virtualization/t ... loads.html and install it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 3
Install the OutbreakServerGUI
Download the OutbreakServerGUI.ova from
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kBbvdS ... XPxh7/view
Click File -> Import Appliance and select the OutbreakServerGUI.ova that you just downloaded. Click Next -> Import.
It should install automatically.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 4
Set up OutbreakServerGUI
Run VirtualBox Manager (if you don't still have it running) and double-click the OutbreakServer that you just installed there.
When the OutbreakServer has finished booting up you need open the file named Setup.txt and follow the instructions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 5
Set up Port Forwarding
You need to set up Port forwarding rules for TCP Ports 443,8200,8300,8590,8690 and UDP port 53.
Go to your router/modem's settings webpage (for me typing
http://mymodem into my web browser automatically takes me there, but this will probably be different for other people).
You should find your router/modem login and password noted on your physical router device so look for a sticker near the cable sockets.
The format of entering settings appears to vary considerably between ISPs (Internet Service Providers).
With mine i had to create a separate Port Forwarding rule for each of the 5 ports that need to be opened.
Some others may let you create 1 rule and you can enter all 5 port numbers separated by commas.
The rule name is whatever you want to call it (I simply named mine "OubreakServer1", "OutbreakServer2", etc)
In my case i had to enter a rule name for each port, select "TCP" from a dropdown box, enter the port number in the WLAN and LAN boxes and the IP address for your emulated RaspberryPi OutbreakServerGUI that is running in VirtualBox.
VERY IMPORTANT!!! The IP address that you use in the Port Forwarding rule/s is the VirtualBox RasperryPi IP address. Make sure you are running the server so you will see it on your router page.
This can be really confusing to know which IP address you need to put where which is why i'm trying to make this very clear!
In order to see your OutbreakServerGUI RasperryPi device IP address you need to have it running currently. It should be displayed on your mymodem home webpage i mentioned above. I think it should be the same as your PC's IP address except the last digits will be different.
Contact your particular ISP to find out how to open ports if you are like me and not technically minded.
Step 6
Playing on the Private Server
The DNS1 IP in PCSX2 CLR-DEV9 plugin needs to be set to 192.0.2.1
Do this by going to Config -> Dev9 -> Plugin settings -> Ethernet Options then uncheck the Auto box and type 192.0.2.1
There is a section of code that needs to be pasted into the CLR-DEV9.ini file in PCSX2 over <Hosts>..</Hosts>.
Replace the "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" in between the 2 <IP>..</IP> with your IPv4 address which you got from
https://www.whatismyip.com/
NOTE!: I have pasted the code below here but it loses the TAB formating in this forum post so copy and paste it directly from this file
