See the Biki (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.cfg) for a sample of the OFP server config file. Or download the OFP dedicated server and get the example from in the zip.

That doesn't make the server private, i have mine set and before i could work kinks out, internet players were joining the server. When i peep out on my Cable pipe, i see it listed. Server is on a DSL line.

If you are wanting no internet access at all, and behind a router, don't forward 2302. If you are not, setting reportingIP="0.0.0.0"; prevents the server from listing, on the master server.
