This guide will walk you through how to host a Left 4 Dead 2 server through playit.gg

Requirements

Server

Open Left 4 Dead 2 Dedicated Server from Steam, and set the Network to LAN. Feel free to change the server name, map and max players.

L4D2 Server Config

That’s all for the server config, let’s set up a tunnel next.

Creating a tunnel

This server uses UDP 27015, which means that all users can create this tunnel type.

Set up the tunnel as follows:

Tunnel Type: UDP (protocol)
Port Count: 1
Local Port: 27015
