I had a server on a linux machine before, and it runs fine only if I disable ufw(firewall), decided to move the save to my win10 pc and run a dedicated server there for mod testing, but I am having the same issue again where I just can't connect to it. I'm guessing it is a firewall issue, but I've already allowed the ports through the advanced firewall settings and yet no change, I really do not want to disable the firewall on my main PC, is there a way to troubleshoot this?

Are you using the correct IP to connect to it?
If you are on a local network, you have to use your local IP

If your router's port fowarding rules are correct you should be able to utilize both local/ext. IPs to connect

& you said you excluded the EXE/BAT from Win Firewall & the install/SAVE folders from Bit-Defender (anti-virus) all around??

In both cases(Linux and windows), allowing the ports through the firewall didn't work

Not that I trust MS, but you should be able to turn off the FW in Windows & try. If it worked, you know it's a Win problem. If it doesn't, you likely still have a networking issue somwhere

Your server box has a static IP too? Matches the port fowarding/router?

It does have a static IP, but I don't understand the match thing
Oh wait, yeah, matches
Sorry, thought you meant if my public ip matches my private IP

This is how I did it, but again, it worked for the linux machine
Did the exclusion too, lemme launch the server

You have the folders, can remove the file exlusions

Ah, oki

With the FW down & exclusions, any issue(s) noted int he LOG/console when you spool up the server?
unique summit
Well, so far even with the firewall turned off, it didn't work, now trying with it off and the exclusion
Update, no luck on both our ends

did the exclusions/firewall on the client PC as well?

Yep, with firewall, local works fine

post the router page w/ rules
unique summit
If it's the router, I have no idea what to do, it's a ISP issued router and we don't have much options that I can understand
upbeat trail
Or, maybe like mine, it takes a reboot of the router before the rules kick in?

Course, being UDP, there's no way to validate if the ports are OPEN or not 😒

Completely different sadly

Haha, we have the server for that
But technically speaking, it should be open on the router, since Linux works fine

Ohh, I see, might be the cause
That sucks xD
I don't need the 8766 and 8767 right?

Well, if you could make a single rule (if the router allows it), like mine, it's easy to EDIT & change the IP as needed

Because the other two can be changed if I am not mistaken

Also, another weird thing is that it works with upnp in the server settings for linux server

I presume the 'pzserver' is the 'old' server rules?

I'd bet if you took out all the PZServer rules, you'd find it all works as expected

Probably, is there a way to change the 2 ports for my client pc's server?

keep the 'pzserver2'

yes, via the LUA/INI config files. But, I'd suggest get it working w/ defaults THEN you can dork around w/ things
change as few variabls as possible, in case of issue(s)

Well, I'd like to be able to have both servers easily run rather than needing to change router settings everytime xD
But I understand what you're getting in
