To check whether you set everything up correctly, start the game via Northstar and go into a private match. Another Northstar user should now be able to see your server on the server browser and join it.\
You can also use a web based server browser like the one made by [Taskinoz](https://taskinoz.com/northstar/) or [cpdt](https://cpdt.dev/northstar/) to see if your server shows up in there.
-You can also use a third-party site like [this one](https://www.ipfingerprints.com/portscan.php) to see whether you set up the TCP port forwarding correctly for the authentication port (usually `8081`) by performing a scan while your Northstar server is running.
