Yeah you have to port forward if you have a Router. No it doesn't let everyone into your computer.

You also need AT LEAST a 1mbps up/down connection for 16 players.

kk

thx and for freelancer what about 10 ppl?

I host a 10 player from my house and I only have 512kbps upload. I've got a 5mbps download so that isn't a problem, there's higher than average lag on my server, so I would recommend at least 768kbps upload/download for 10 persons.

i guess i have more than enough then huh?

download doesn't matter nearly as much as upload...

that said, you'll be fine.
