# Hosting a Local-Only Server | ||
|
||
If you just want to host server (listen or dedicated) for people in your local network (as in computer network, not the in-game Networks system), you can simply not enable port-forwarding and set `ns_auth_allow_insecure` to `1` in the `autoexec_ns_server.cfg`. | ||
|
||
This way players can connect to your server directly by using the `connect` command with the local IP of your server, e.g. `connect 192.168.420.500` (replace with actual local IP of your server). | ||
|
||
|
||
{% hint style="info" %} | ||
Loadouts are saved by the server and connecting to a server directly using `connect` means that the loadout is not loaded from masterserver. This means your loadouts will be reset while playing on said server. | ||
|
||
You should see your saved loadouts again when leaving the local-only server | ||
{% endhint %} | ||
|
||
{% hint style="info" %} | ||
Even with local-only servers you still need an internet connection to authenticate your account and game ownership with masterserver. | ||
