* At least 25GB of free storage

* A minimum of a ten megabit upload speed if you intend on hosting a server over the Internet, more will be needed if you host custom content

* ~~''Optional'':~~ An opened port on your firewall for the server if you want a persistent IP address (see [[#~~Disabling~~ the Steam Datagram Relay|this section on ~~disabling~~ the Steam Datagram Relay]])

* An opened port on your firewall for the server if you want a persistent IP address (unless using SDR, see [[#Enabling the Steam Datagram Relay|this section on enabling the Steam Datagram Relay]])

* ''Optional'': An SSH/SFTP client if doing remote access/file management

=== ~~Disabling~~ the Steam Datagram Relay ===

=== Enabling the Steam Datagram Relay ===

~~By default, the dedicated server will~~ use the Steam Datagram Relay. It masks your server's IP address, helps prevent DDoS attacks, and allows you to run a server without port forwarding or configuring firewalls. However, this comes at the cost of added latency and using ephemeral IP addresses for your server, the latter breaking server favoriting.

Servers can use the Steam Datagram Relay. It masks your server's IP address, helps prevent DDoS attacks, and allows you to run a server without port forwarding or configuring firewalls. However, this comes at the cost of added latency and using ephemeral IP addresses for your server, the latter breaking server favoriting and IP bans.

You can ~~disable~~ this by adding <code>sv_use_steam_networking 0</code> to <code>classified/tf2classified/cfg/default.cfg</code>. You should also manually assign a port to the server by adding the <code>-port</code> argument to the server launch command. You will need the assigned port forwarded in your router and allowed in your firewall.

You can enable this by adding <code>sv_use_steam_networking 1</code> to <code>classified/tf2classified/cfg/default.cfg</code>.
