To successfully host or initiate a raid in SPT FIKA, the host player must have port 25565 open to accept incoming connections from other players. If this port is closed, other players may fail to connect.

This guide explains the easiest and most reliable method: using DMZ on your router.
What You Need
Access to your router’s admin panel
A custom router (not ISP-locked; most non-ISP routers support DMZ)
The local IP address of the computer hosting SPT FIKA
Step 1: Find Your Local IP Address
Type cmd and press Enter
In Command Prompt, type
Look for IPv4 Address (example: 192.168.1.100)

Step 2: Log In to Your Router
Open a web browser
Enter your router’s gateway address (commonly) 192.168.1.1
Log in using your router credentials
Step 3: Enable DMZ for Your PC (Recommended Method)
DMZ exposes your PC directly to the internet.
Use this only while playing SPT FIKA and disable it afterward if possible.
Navigate to Advanced Settings, NAT, or Firewall
Locate DMZ Settings
Enable DMZ
Enter the local IP address from Step 1
Save / Apply changes
Restart the router if prompted
Step 4: Start SPT FIKA and Host a Raid
Launch SPT FIKA
Host or initiate a raid
Other players should now be able to connect without issues
If DMZ Is Not Available
If your router does not support DMZ:
Manually forward TCP/UDP port 25565 to your local IP
Or enable UPnP if available (less reliable)
Common Issues
ISP-provided routers may restrict DMZ or port forwarding
Double NAT (modem + router) can block ports
Firewalls or antivirus software may still block connections
