I'm going absolutely insane setting up a dedicated server. Firewall is open for 16261, server is set to 16261, ports are open on modem for 16261. Still not able to connect and while server is up open port checker doesn't see my port as open. Any ideas?
16262 is also open

Port checkers cannot check for UDP ports
Are you able to connect to it using your Local IP?
hollow mural
Good to know about the port checkers. And I can indeed connect with the local IP.

If you can connect with the local IP, it means the server itself is set up correctly and has no issues
The main problem would be with port forwarding or the ports being otherwise inaccessible
Did you open those ports in your firewall as well?
worn otter
Remote port should also be marked as All ports
Can you screenshot your router config as well?
hollow mural
Of course, one moment

Do you know whether you have a public IP assigned to you by your internet provider?
hollow mural
I don't know whether it is static or not no
worn otter
A public IP is required to be able to host a dedicated server
You may need to look into that
hollow mural
Whatismyip does show an ip though
hollow mural
Shows my town
worn otter
Close to your address when you select to show more info?
Generally addresses can be directed to the ISP, which forwards it to you, or they can be directed straight to your home
If the address is the ISP address, it would mean you do not have a public IP
Though, you may need to call your internet provider about more info
hollow mural
I don't see any way to get more details on the address
hollow mural
Yeah it's a whole area shown and not my direct location
worn otter
You may need to call your internet provider about more info in that case
hollow mural
Got it. I will reach out the my isp. Is there anything specific I should mention, other than requesting a public IP address?
worn otter
Mostly asking if you do have one. And whether people will be able to connect in case you host a server.

On hold with them now, but I will note that I was able to host a dedicated server with Terraria and Palworld relatively recently with people being able to connect to my IP Address. Is there something different that I should be looking into for PZ?
Is there any reliability in this purevpn website stating that I need to have these ports open
Steam
TCP: 27015-27030, 27036-27037
UDP: 4380, 27000-27031, 27036, 34197
PC
TCP/UDP: 34197
hollow mural
I do not, it was just an article linked to me by someone who used it to host a server prior
I just wanted to verify
Used the article to forward ports that is not used purevpn
worn otter
The game just needs those two ports
Unless your internet provider has special rules to forward UDP ports
hollow mural
I will see what they say. Thank you for all the help today
It's just so annoying lol. I don't know why people can connect to my other servers but not zomboid
hollow mural
Unless your internet provider has special rules to forward UDP ports
I've been informed that is my public IP
worn otter
I've been informed that is my public IP
Interesting.. can you share the server-console.txt file found in your User/Zomboid folder in that case?
hollow mural
worn otter
Something seems wrong with binding to the port, how exactly are you starting the server?
hollow mural
Launching StartServer64.bat
worn otter
Can you try restarting your PC?
Then start the server again and connect with the public IP
hollow mural
I will try that
hollow mural
I am back trying to create the server again as we decided to want to play zomboid for sure. Multiple restarts since and I have actually been able to connect using my local IP, but not with the public IP
hollow mural
Then start the server again and connect with the public IP
Do you have any ideas on what I can try? Could you also clarify what exe I'm supposed to let through my firewall?
It'll ocassionally show server info with the public IP put in, but when I refresh or try to join it won't connect.

It should be the Java application
Can also be called 'Hotspot'
Or OpenJDK
Actually, specifically for the firewall it should be called Zulu
Zulu Platform specifically
The name can be confusing since its called Azul Zulu Hotpot JDK, which is based on OpenJDK
But they call it Zulu in the Firewall
hollow mural
But they call it Zulu in the Firewall
?
hollow mural
Yeah looks like that's it when I try to add that java file to the server. One thing to note is that when I launch the game and look at the server list, it'll show the information for it, and if I refresh it'll say it's not responding.
Made some progress. Ran the server with the nosteam bat. Connecting to it with -nosteam in steam launch arguments seems to let me connect to the server. So something is happening with the steam connection.
hollow mural
Showing that mods aren't found now
Loading list
Oh the workshop IDs are missing now...
After readding the workshop IDs it continues to say the mods are not found
Is there a way to set up the server in game for the ini and then use that for the dedicated server?
Oh since it's a nosteam server that means no mods unless I manually add them
hollow mural
So what's the troubleshooting I can do to deal with steam servers not working and nonsteam servers working
hollow mural
Check whether these are opened as both incoming and outgoing
Got it will look at this. I apologize for my spam last night as I was just brainstorming.
hollow mural
I managed to somehow connect once and I'm back to it saying that 12626 is closed again
And now I can't connect again, I think i might just buy a server at this point, this is so frustrating
hollow mural
@worn otter Is there any consideration for using my router? I currently have a router connected that I only use for wifi, but I imagine if the port fowarding isn't working on the modem, connecting through the router isn't going to make a difference?

Yeah I think at this point this would be a router / network issue
It wouldnt make sense for the port forwarding to not work, since if that was the case then you would not be able to connect
But maybe it would keep dropping out or have other issues
You may need to contact your internet provider to look into the router / network issues
hollow mural
Yeah I think at this point this would be a router / network issue
Is there anything I could be missing as far as the steam service goes? It's absolutely bizarre that without steam the connections go through.

Not as far as I can see, I have only seen issues with Steam if the server is installed through the Steam Client
But you used SteamCMD, so that should work perfectly fine
Hm
I wonder if the router has a problem allowing two ports at once..?
Since the game does need to use 16261 and 16262
And if you only start the game in Steam mode, only 16261 is used..
hollow mural
It doesn't give me a "this server doesn't have 16262 unforwarded" if I run it with nosteam. And I also have a few unrelated ports forwarded at the same time that do seem to be functioning correctly

Yeah, as said, nosteam only uses the 16261 port
Steam uses both 16261 and 16262
