Solution for users behind NAT router/firewall:
The game using always UDP port 21000 (hyperlobby force this port). You must setup your router/firewall to enable this port in both direction. Some NAT routers have options DMZ host to expose one ip from internal network directly to the internet. Use this option when you want host game server. Edit the hlpro.ini file and in section [IL-2 Sturmovik (full version)] change value DetectLocalIP=1 to DetectLocalIP=0.

Some server scripts will block user names with colons. (a**holes?)

I assume windows and any other software firewalls have all been given the necessary permissions for "il2FB.exe", "hlpro.exe" and don't forget "aping.exe"
