So it's pretty easy (in theory) to host a PQ server. click the host button and you're done. but if you want to play with other human beings outside of 5 inches from you, you have to port forward it. so I tried a few programs (none of which have worked so far) and I put in the standard 28000 port. People said they couldn't connect. so what the heck am I doing wrong? and please don't tell me I need to break into my router settings because I don't think I have the username and password.

If you are able to use a UPnP/NAT-PmP port mapper, then make sure you forward port 28000 UDP (if you use TCP it won't work). If that doesn't work you will have to check your router configuration.
