There are 2 ways to host a Server. First way would be just go to Multiplayer and click Play & Host then let your friends etc. connect via the IP Adress of your Router or Hamachi.

The second way would be using TShock Dedicated Server or normal Vanilla Server which both are run external and need Windows. Allthough i recommend you a Vanilla Server because it's just easier. Infact the TShock Server got commands if you can't use Databases it does not help you at all. The way of connecting for you friends is the same. You don't have to define a IP in some config just let it blank and let your friends connect to your Router or Hamachi IP and the defined Port.
