So I set up my dedicated server using steam tools on my PC. Then, on my friends PC in the same house, tried to find the server I made. I can't. I really don't want to mess with all this stuff and was wondering if using a 3rd party server rental would be easier? Will I still have to do all this port forwarding and router settings and ISP meddling? For the first time I have roommates and didnt set up the internet. Idk I'm just tired of all the technical stuff and just wanna play this game with my friend! On a server we can both access when we want to. Y is this so hard 🥺

 
It's pretty easy if you have a spare PC, can read High-School level English, and have a good understanding of how to use a computer file system and your modem.  If not, then go for hosting. You'll spend time and money on it either way, but self-hosting is way cheaper.

No you won't need to do port forwarding if your host is external on a 3rd party site. You will have a higher latency to the server, and remember that you get what you pay for. Go with a cheap hosting service like Survival Servers, and you are going to have a sour experience. Guaranteed.
