I understand that the host set his/her config file IP to 127.0.0.1 to create a server but I can never get the players (my friends) to join my server from a different router. This program is capable of connecting players from different routers/house to play right? But what does it mean by putting the host's ip? Do I find my IP from http://www.whatismyip.com and tell my friends my IP from that website so they can put it on their config file? Or is it my IPv4 Address that I give it to them? Which IP is it? Thanks.

first you need a program like hamachi. then you enter in config.ini your hamachi ip and so does your friend. and then it should work

If you trust your friend you can give them your real world IP and they can connect to you using that IP. But for those that do not trust others so they do not get hacked or attacked lol people use Virtual Private networks like Himachi and use the ip himachi sets up for them.
