I recently transferred my dedicated PZ server from a VPS to my local server (meaning my local dedicated game server machine). I can connect to it fine by using the LAN IP but I get "Server Failed to Respond" when trying to connect via the public IP.
I have the default port and the UDP port forwarded on my router.
hm. This may be related to my VPN on said machine
it is not

Reserve the IP for your host machine
It is already
This is running on my home rackmount server in a virtual machine
ISP Router has a DMZ setup to my primary router which has the portforwards to the server VM

Are there port conflicts in the server networking?
coarse lion
Sometimes you can inadvertently create a conflict
Or... potentially the game instance is running in a server network that does not speak to the host machines internet connection

I thought this for a moment because there is a VPN that another game server on the same VM is using but I'm SSH'd into the server on the LAN and can connect with PZ on the LAN

Alright, so... something with your router to the host most likely

I just changed the ports to the defaults
in case there was VPN weirdness because said other game would normally use the ports I had set
coarse lion
Does it work now then?

LinuxGSM won't be the issue
its something networking related
also I would check it out if you do game servers with any regularity.
thank you for trying. I may be back if I solve this issue and run into anothre.

I do run game servers but I use a different OS
Works quite well
wide current
LinuxGSM isn't the OS
its just a program to pull down the files and install in one command
I'm on Ubuntu 22.04
coarse lion
Alright, well I still run in my setup pretty well
Hopefully you can get it working

I vaugly remember having this same issues years ago with PZ
but back then I wouldn've been running dedicated on windows

Many ISPs are set up so that you cannot connect to your public IP address from inside the network. If that is the case there is nothing that you can do.
To test an external connection you will have to try from outside or have someone else do it.

already tested this and that was not the issue
I've been testing using my phone as my internet connection
At any rate I have no idea what is different between this new VM I setup but its working.
The networking should be identical on it
