So I connect to LAN and people connect to the internet

Caustic Soda-Senpai:
Correct. You can go to http://whatsmyip.org to view your public IP Address, this is what other players will use to connect to your server.

JamminR:
And if Gmod still works the way I remember, connecting to your non-LAN listed server , after opening your ports, will allow friends in your steam list to "join game" in Friends.
Otherwise, if you use your LAN list, friends trying to use the join game feature will end up not being able to connect, because your address being advertised is your internal.

Caustic Soda-Senpai:
I believe it's something along those lines.
