# Basic Connecting Information
## Connecting to the server
When you start the server, it will display your computer's local IP address. With your Telnet client, connect to it at port 5000. Be sure you are on your local network.
Example: 192.168.1.15:5000
## Global Connections
You are able to connect to the OTN server from outside your house. However, **IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO DO THIS AS IT LEAVES YOUR COMPUTER OPEN TO ATTACKERS.** Telnet, unlike SSH, is an unsecure connection method. Follow the instructions at your own risk. View the [Legal Information and Warrenties](https://www.github.com/sparrdrem/otn/wiki/2-Legal-Information-and-Warrenties) page for more information.
**1.)** Go to your router's setup page. This is usually 192.168.1.1, or routerlogin.com if you have a Netgear router.
**2.)** Go to the page that lets you open ports (or more commonly called "Port Forwarding").
**3.)** Open the 5000 port
You can now connect to the OTN server from anywhere in the world at [your public IP]:5000. To find your public IP, go to Google and search "whats my IP address".
