Setting up your own Arma Reforger server on Windows can be a lot of fun. Below is the server configuration I used to get one working. This only allows PC players on the server,

Install the Arma Reforger Server on Steam. Then navigate to the folder containing the ArmaReforgerServer.exe and make a new folder named ‘config’. Then create the server.json file here. Then you may start the server and this will start in a few seconds. Make sure you set the correct IP address for your server to work.

This will start the Arma Reforger Server in the Windows Terminal. Press Control-C to kill it if needed.
Use this in the server configuration to also allow XBOX players.
"supportedGameClientTypes": [ "PLATFORM_PC","PLATFORM_XBL" ], |
I just tested this on my PC with the server running in Windows Terminal and this worked. So this is an easy way to set up a working Conflict server on your computer.
Required ports for port forwarding.

To add mods to an Arma Reforger server, edit the server config created earlier and add the mods to the mods section.

This will add the BetterTracers and MK-14 EBR mods to the server.
