Server Side :

Internal Server :

If you want to host your own Chat room where all devices are conencted to the same router, run the Server.py script present in the src directory. Send your clients the IP address and the port you are using (default = 8080)

External Server :

If you want people connected to a different router to connect to the server, port-forwarding is the only option.
Its really not that hard. Just follow the below steps.

• Use ifconfig on linux or mac and ipconfig on windows comand line.
• Copy the Default Gateway IP Address value and your IPv4 Address.
• Paste the Default Gateway Address on any browser url and login with your router credentials.
• Go to advanced settings and search for options like NAT forwarding or virtual servers.
• Set up a virtual server, select service type as SOCK or Socket.
• Choose port 8080 for both internal and external connection.
• Paste your IPv4 Address value as your internal IP.
• Set protocol as TCP or All

Once done, run it. You are good to go.

NOTE: You will have to share your external IP for the clients to connect to your server. To do this, go here and send your clients your IPv4 Address.

Client Side :

For Client side, run the Client.py script present in the src directory. Enter the Host IP address and the Port number.
