Play with friends

Host your own match.

Host on your Windows PC for you and up to three friends; bots fill the other seats. On the same network, share the LAN address. Anywhere else, forward UDP 7777 with the guide below, and share the address only with your group.

01Host or join a match
  1. Both players download the same Boxfight version and open Boxfight.exe.
  2. The host opens Multiplayer, then Open a Lobby, and chooses the map and rules.
  3. For a friend on the same network, share the LAN address. For a friend elsewhere, complete the Windows Firewall and router port forwarding sections below, then share the Internet address privately. It stays hidden until you select Show, and both addresses have a Copy button in the lobby.
  4. The friend opens Multiplayer, then Join a Lobby, types the host's IPv4 address under Address, and selects Join. Use the address by itself for the default port, or address:7777. Do not add http://.
  5. The friend picks a class and selects Ready Up. The host selects Start Match and keeps the game running while everyone plays.

Only the host needs router port forwarding. If you are both on the same home network, skip the router port forwarding section.

02Allow Boxfight through Windows Firewall

Do this on the host PC. If Windows shows a firewall prompt when you host, allow the downloaded Boxfight app on your trusted home network. To add it manually:

  1. Open Windows Security from Start, then select Firewall & network protection.
  2. Choose Allow an app through firewall, then Change settings. Approve the administrator prompt.
  3. Select Allow another app and browse to Boxfight.exe inside the extracted Boxfight folder. Add that file.
  4. Enable the checkbox for your active network profile and save with OK. For a trusted home network marked Private, enable Private. Check the active profile on the Firewall & network protection screen.

Public here means Windows' network profile, not where your friend lives. An internet match can use a Private-profile rule on your home connection. Keep Windows Firewall on.

If an update moves the game to a different folder, add the new executable path. Microsoft's firewall instructions

03Forward the port on your router

The host does this when friends join from another network. Router menus vary by model.

  1. Find the host PC's local IPv4 address. On the host, open Command Prompt, run ipconfig, and look under the connected Wi-Fi or Ethernet adapter. Note IPv4 Address and Default Gateway. About this command
  2. Open the Default Gateway address in your browser, or use your router's app, and sign in with its administrator login.
  3. Find Port Forwarding, sometimes called Virtual Servers or NAT Forwarding. Add this rule:
Boxfight host forwarding rule
NameBoxfight
ProtocolUDP
External / WAN port7777
Internal / LAN port7777
Device / internal IPThe host PC's local IPv4 address
StatusEnabled

For start/end port fields, enter 7777 in both. Save the rule. Reserve the PC's address in the router's DHCP/address reservation settings so it stays consistent.

Start hosting, then have your friend join the Internet address from a different network.

The local address identifies your PC inside your home; the public address identifies your internet connection. Example router screens from TP-Link

04If your friend cannot connect
  • Check that both players have the same version, the host is running, and the friend used the right address.
  • Recheck UDP 7777, the host PC's current local address, and the firewall entry for the executable you actually launched.
  • The Internet line is an address lookup, not a connection test. If it shows no address, check your router's Internet/WAN status for its public IPv4 address. Restart Boxfight after changing networks or a VPN. If LAN looks wrong, use the connected adapter's IPv4 address from ipconfig.
  • If the router itself has a private WAN address, another router or your internet provider may be doing address translation. Port forwarding on this router alone will not be enough. Ask your provider whether you have CGNAT and whether it can provide a public IPv4 address.

Test with a friend outside your home network. On your own network, use the LAN address. Share your public address only with the people you intend to play with, and remove the forwarding rule when you no longer host.
