Hosting a BombSquad Server

Now that you know the requirements, let’s begin with setting up your BombSquad server.

Step 1 – Download BombSquad Server

The first thing you need to do is download the BombSquad server file. You can download the server file from the official BombSquad website. Make sure to download the version that corresponds with your operating system.

Step 2 – Install BombSquad Server

Once you have downloaded the server file, extract it to a folder on your computer. The server file doesn’t require installation, so just extract and run it.

Step 3 – Setup Port Forwarding

Port forwarding is a crucial step in hosting a BombSquad server as it enables players outside your local network to connect to your server. To set up port forwarding, you need to access your router settings and forward the BombSquad port (default port is 43210).

Here is how you can do it:

1. Go to your router’s settings page. The router’s IP address can be found on the router itself or by typing “ipconfig” in command prompt (Windows) or terminal (macOS/Linux).
2. Find the “Port Forwarding” or “Virtual Server” option.
3. Add a new “Port Forwarding” rule and set the following:
   • Service name: BombSquad
   • External port: 43210
   • Internal IP address: Your computer’s IP address (can be found by typing “ipconfig” in command prompt or terminal)
   • Internal port: 43210
   • Protocol: TCP/UDP
4. Save and apply the settings.

Step 4 – Configure BombSquad Server

Now that you have set up port forwarding, it’s time to configure your BombSquad server. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open the folder where you extracted the BombSquad server and look for the “bs_headless” file.
2. Double click the file to run it. The server console will show up.
3. At the bottom of the console, you will see different options that you can configure, such as server name, password, and game mode. Type in the desired values and press enter.
4. Your server is now up and running!
