After both outbound and inbound have been setup pin Windows Defender Firewall and Advanced security app to your Windows task bar for easy future access.

As soon as you can move you character immediately enter the Player Lobby menu again. This time you will select Online Options.

Hold enter twice to enter the Change Appearance lobby.

Open your Windows Defender with Advanced Security App and block both inbound and outbound settings that you created. You want to stay in the lobby for at least 30 seconds to make sure the lobby is set after you block the connections. Once complete exit the lobby back into game.

Pros And Cons

Pros:
  • No griefers.
  • Fully functional moonshine shack and Trader (You get to put your camp anywhere).
  • All the hunting you want.
  • Hideouts.
  • Bootlegger missions.
  • Tons of helping strangers.
  • Defend campsite.
  • Ambushes.
Cons:
  • No Story missions.
  • No Legendary Bounties.
  • No Free-Roam events.

If you want to do Story missions, Legendary Bounties or Free-Roam events you have to unblock the ports as the game forces you into a public lobby after you finish. You will get disconnected from the game if you fail to unblock your ports attempting to enter any of the above i just mentioned.

Friend Invites

To invite your friends you have to have you lobby established for a minimum of 30mins. When you are ready after the 30 minute period unblock your ports then have your friends log into game and join your session. If they try to join your game before you unblock your ports then you game will not be seen by them. once you are fully unblocked then have them log in and join.

Enjoy Huckleberries and get those Hideouts!
