How can someone else connect to my server. Minecraft 1.10.2
I downloaded the Minecraft 1.10.2 server program from the official Minecraft website. I followed the top video on YouTube on how to setup a server. I did everything I was supposed to do (with port forwarding and stuff like that) but only people connected to my internet can join. I want to fix that so I don't have to pay for a realm (also I didn't use the Hamachi).
Best Answer
You need to setup port forwarding for port 25565 in your router/firewall. Otherwise nobody from the other side of your router can join.
If you changed the port you need of course forward the one you used.

Answer 2
First press "Open to Lan". Then choose one of the options below:
Option 1)
Invite your friend to come to your home. Use the same router, and your computer will appear in your friends' multiplayer menu.
Option 2)
Download LogMeIn Hamachi and connect to the same room.
Option 3)
Pretty complex option. Not suggested if you don't know what to do!
When you press "Open to Lan" minecraft should say: Server hosted in port XXXXX
Go to Router settings and open that port.
