How to set up a Terraria server complete and noob friendly

I know you can't do much with an IP address, but I prefer my privacy and would like to not be bothered on my servers. ;P

Step 1: Static IP
Link to detailed steps for all operating systems:
http://portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm

Step 2: Port Forward:
Find your model of router in the link below and follow the instructions
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm

Step 3: External IP
http://whatismyip.org/

Step 4: Create and test server within terraria

Step 5: Extra step: dyndns & .tk
http://www.dyndns.com/
I'll create a link to the .tk video once i've made it.

@MrGamesWeekly google "light in the night burning coast" should be the first link

i got an error saying: Warning - Multiple default gateways are intended to provide redundancy to a single network (such as the intranet or Internet). They will not function properly when the gateways are on two separate, disjoint networks (such as one on your intranet and one on the Internet). Do you want to save this configuration?

(Any help?)

@iTzLyRiCzzX It's actually not an error. It's a *Warning*, you could save the config and see if it works. If that doesn't work try leaving the "Default gateway:" blank...

And the players are just supposed to KNOW how to do all this to set up a server. I call bullshit, developers are just too lazy. You can tell because according to this video I need at least 5 computer science degrees to be able to know what the fuck is going on during the first half of the video.

@MisterZimbabwe While I agree that this isn't the most intuitive process I feel like it's the best way they could have done it.
