Hello guys, i am new in TM: stadium, so I wanted to ask if there is a possobility so i could host a game with my own tracks over the internet without neccessity of using server. Because so far when I try to do so, my game is not visible to others. (I am not asking about LAN) i tried to open ports with my router and firewalls but it doesn't work (it works however in tmnations and united forever). Any advices? Would be truly grateful for help.

You need a server. You need a host.

What do you mean with "you don't want a server"? A rented / dedicated server from a web hoster?
Then you should try to run the dedicated server on your machine, see also here

But you need a powerful internet connection. Usual DSL with poor upload might not be enough.

It's not about opening ports in your firewall but about forwarding them.
It may be called NAT-Settings in your Router software, or Portmapping/Portforwarding.
Maybe that's the problem.
Edit:
Looking at your post again, it works with TMF? Well then, the forwarding itself shouldn't be the problem.
But maybe you need to forward different/additional ports for MP than for United.
