When hosting a raid on an external Dedicated server, when we host via our machine in game, do we still need to port forward on our network. although the server is hosted on a diffrent machine?

has the dedicated client (the machine your hosting an public ipv4 address) is it a Dedicated Server, VPS or anything similar?

the dedicated server is on a VM, hosted locally on a diffrent local IP. Ive port forwared and im connecting externally, as well as my friends. ive tried hosting, as well as my friend via the clinet and we cant connect. However, we can connect via a Site-Site VPN. However this is not ideal and we would like to have it open via port forwarding so that 4 othrs can join

From my experience (running a dedicated server for 2 months now, still on old version)
The dedicated server portion runs the server itself (items, inventories, etc.), but never actually runs the maps. It will load the items in the map, but never the map itself. When you want to host a raid, the client is hosting it, not the server. You would need to port forward on the host end AND server end. We ended up using RADMIN for interconnectivity while using a dedicated server (that isn't using radmin) as the main host.
I could be wrong, but from my experience and all my testing, I could not get it to run exclusively on the dedicated server which sucked cause then we all had to still use RADMIN in the end... But since I have a DDNS on my server, I never had to use Radmin on my linux server 🙂

Hosting raids is p2p. The raid host needs to have 25565 UDP forwarded, upnp enabled, or the server has configured NAT punchthrough. Their firewall also applies.
