Server: Can't get port to open

[silent shadow]

King Of The Cans has submitted a ticket

Versions: Fika: 2.4.7, SPTarkov: 3.11.3
Networking: Port Forwarding
Description: I followed the tutorial to open my ports and set up a server but it still shows my ports are closed, I already got the FikaUtils to open up my firewall so I have no idea what I did wrong.

I don't have any log files and I have no mods since this is the first time I have downloaded Fika

How are you verifying the TCP port 6969 is open or closed? Using a website?

[sand iron]

It says the port is closed when I use the port checking website but I dont know what Im doing wrong

I dont know if theres any thing you can see that I might be doing wrong, or if this is the kind of problem I need to call my ISP about

I also had a friend try to join the server

Is your server running? Screenshot of your fika.jsonc? You're sure it's forwarded to the correct LAN ip?

[sand iron]

the server is running currently, how do I tell if its forwarded to the correct LAN IP?

[thin zinc]

You need to know the lanip of your machine. ipconfig in a cmd window.

[sand iron]

here is the jsonc

[thin zinc]

Fika.jsonc is correct

[sand iron]

do i need to be port forwarding to my ipv4, correct?

[thin zinc]

Yes

[sand iron]

then ive got that done correctly

[thin zinc]

Could be your isp doesn't allow port forwarding for one reason or another. I suggest pivoting and using Radmin VPN.

ok, thanks ill see if i can talk to thier support and find out and try switching to a vpn if i have to, thanks
