Tutorial:Hide Multiplayer Server IP

Jump to navigation Jump to search
Warning!
 
System32 is a sensitive folder used by Windows. Do this with caution!

In this tutorial, you edit your hosts file to add a hostname to an IP address. This allows you to record a video with no IP address showing and no one can look it up unless they have your hosts file.

In Windows, the hosts file is located

%systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Add an IP address like this

127.0.0.2<TAB>coolserver

where <TAB> is the Tab character on your keyboard

Replace "127.0.0.2" with the numeric IP address of your server, and "coolserver" with any name you want, as long as the latter has no spaces.
