home routers like the ones you buy in a store cannot properly handle high UDP traffic, this is just a note for those who plan on running bigger servers like 50+ players. The routers will eventually overheat (and possibly explode, that last one is a fun one).
If you plan on having a bigger server use a hardware based router and keep in mind that you only need UDP traffic available in port forwarding, you should keep the TCP traffic internal to the network (such as the world port listening for zones).
