Open port 43595, and then have your friend edit the 2009scape JSON config (C:/Users/2009scape/something.json) and replace the Test server with your IP. Then when they select Test server from the launcher, it will connect to you

Did a quick test, he needs to change the config.json IPs to your one, then he can just click "Play" in the launcher:

so this essestially works but you gotta disable check for client updates and server profiles updates for it to work for me. also i found a bug somehow when my friend died to goblins he can't pick up some items on the ground so i tried to replicate it and i could pick up all items but it doesnt dissapear, which means they appear in my inventory -> but dont dissapear from the ground. i can only click them once which picks up the items at first but doesnt make the the item dissapear from the ground which makes it a dead item or smth
