In this tutorial, we will explore the steps to create a private public server on GTA 5. Whether you want to enjoy a customized gaming experience with your friends or simply have more control over your gameplay environment, setting up a private public server can be an exciting venture.
Step 1: Obtaining the Required Software
To begin, you need to download and install the necessary software for hosting your private public server. Two popular options are FiveM and RageMP.
FiveM is known for its user-friendly interface, while RageMP offers more advanced customization options. Choose the one that suits your preferences and follow their respective installation instructions.
Step 2: Configuring Your Router
Before diving into the game settings, it’s essential to configure your router properly. Access your router’s admin panel by typing its IP address into your web browser.
Look for the ‘Port Forwarding’ or ‘Virtual Server’ section and add a new entry for GTA 5. Specify the port range (default is usually 30120) and enter your computer’s IP address as the destination.
Note: If you are unsure about configuring your router, consult the documentation provided by its manufacturer or seek assistance from their customer support.
Step 3: Launching GTA 5
Once you have completed the previous steps, launch GTA 5 on your computer. Go to the ‘Online’ tab in the main menu and select ‘Play GTA Online’.
Next, choose ‘Invite Only Session’ from the list of available options. This will create a private session that only invited players can join.
Step 4: Connecting to Your Private Public Server
Now it’s time to connect to your private public server using either FiveM or RageMP client.
For FiveM:
1. Launch FiveM and click on ‘Direct Connect’. 2.
Enter the IP address of your server (your public IP address) and the port number you specified during the router configuration. 3. Click ‘Connect’ and wait for the client to establish a connection with your server.
For RageMP:
1. Open RageMP and click on ‘Direct Connect’.
Enter the server’s IP address (your public IP address) and the port number you specified earlier. Click ‘Connect’ and allow some time for the client to connect to your server.
Step 5: Customizing Your Server
Congratulations! You are now connected to your private public server on GTA 5.
From this point, you can customize various aspects of your server according to your preferences. This includes changing game rules, adding mods, creating custom maps, and much more.
Step 6: Inviting Players
To invite friends or other players to join your private public server, share your public IP address along with the port number you configured in Step 2. They can then follow Steps 4 (according to their chosen client) to connect to your server.
Note: Make sure to only invite trusted individuals as giving access to unauthorized players may compromise the security of your private public server.
Conclusion
Setting up a private public server on GTA 5 allows you to enjoy a tailored gaming experience with friends or like-minded players. By following these steps, you can create a secure environment where you have full control over game settings and customization options.
Remember to always prioritize security by inviting only trusted individuals to join your private public server.
