During server setup, my firewall didn't ask for network permission!

The firewall didn't popup! Help!

Because the guide is written using Windows 11, the UI will reflect that. I believe it is similar to Windows 10's UI.

Using ModOrganizer2

  1. Press the Windows Key

  2. Search for firewall

  3. Select the Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security

  4. Select Inbound Rules

  5. Verify the rules have not been created before. If they have been created before, there will be two rules named Multiplayer Server for Bethesda games. If they are there, you can safely continue.

  6. If they are not there, we will now create them manually.

  7. Select New Rule. A new window will appear.

  8. Select Program, then Next.

  9. Go to the folder location: C:\Modding\MO2\mods\Skyrim Together Reborn\SkyrimTogetherReborn

  10. Select the SkyrimTogetherServer.exe

  11. Press Next

  12. Select Allow the connection

  13. Select Private and Public but leave Domain unchecked

  14. Give it a name. I recommend Multiplayer Server for Bethesda games.

  15. Done for now.
