I have been working on my starter deed for a few weeks now, I'm close to opening my server to the public. My question is what prevents someone from typing in my main character's name and clicking play? There is no account/character password. Is the character name tied to my Steam ID? What happens if someone tries to use my character names? What about with Family Share? Do you know if my daughter could log in as my GM from her account? Any answers are appreciated

I would like to open my server to some friends outside my house. I have a dedicated box that I host several game servers on, but I have a dynamic IP address. I have my router set to use a Dynamic Domain name, and it works for all other games. Ports are opened and forwarded on the router, but when I use my domain name in the External IP block, instead of my local LAN IP, the server will not start - it just crashes. Same goes for if I use my router's IP address. If I use anything except my local LAN IP, the server refuses to start. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a trick to it?
