In this video, I show you a step-by-step tutorial for how to set up your own DayZ server in just a couple of minutes. First, you'll be able to connect to your own server locally via LAN, then I'll show you how to set up port forwarding so your friends can connect to your server as well.

Server folder by default:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DayZServer

Ports to forward:
2302 & 27016

Trouble finding info about your router? Check portforward.com

In the next video, we install CF Tools & Zomberry Admin Tools to enable useful tools such as god mode, teleporting, spawning items, and much more:
