External Proxy Connection Trouble

[potent trench]

did you configure all the other options as well

also make sure you are using modern forwarding

[rancid fjord]

yes I am using modern forwarding

I setup the server on the website too

[potent trench]

what host are you using

[rancid fjord]

apex

[potent trench]

can you send an image of where you set the custom startup flags

[rancid fjord]

I had them removed so I could bring my server back up in the meantime

[rancid fjord]

let me know if I can send anything else 🙂

[potent trench]

can you add them back and then also send your velocity.toml and your backend servers paper-global.yml

[rancid fjord]

yeah that's all setup otherwise my network would be down xD

oops

read that wrong

1 sec

this is for my lobby

here's the flag added

[potent trench]

@rancid fjord ok I deleted the files since you leaked your proxy secret in them. but enable haproxy in velocity.toml

[rancid fjord]

tried that, the server wouldn't even ping when I enabled it

[potent trench]

thats how it works

it needs to be enabled to work

and players can only join through minehut with those flags

[rancid fjord]

is there anyway to allow them to join in other ways?

without going through minehut???

[potent trench]

you can just setup a custom domain pointing to your minehut ip if you dont want to use the .minehut.gg domain. but if you also want players joining externally, you need to setup a second proxy that doesn't have any of the minehut settings

[rancid fjord]

could I in theory add a second proxy just for minehut?

or would the players be able to just use the minehut domain?

[pulsar portal]

you can directly connect to external servers through minehut like normal minehut servers with the .minehut.gg domain which you can change to a custom domain by setting up an SRV record, but if you have objections to only being able to join through the minehut proxies you can set up 2 proxies, one that accepts connections from minehut (with the guide and the whole flags thing etc), and one that is just like a normal proxy

[rancid fjord]

very helpful! thank you!

[pulsar portal]

it's basically just reworded what tarna said

[rancid fjord]

is it possible to add 2 velocity proxies?

[pulsar portal]

yes as long as the secret keys are the same between the proxies and the servers it should work

[rancid fjord]

thank you so much!

[rancid fjord]

is this a tested method? My host is saying most networks can't do 2 proxies

[pulsar portal]

a lot of external servers do it and on top of that it's a method of load balancing that large networks use (many proxies)

so not sure why your host would say that

[rancid fjord]

my host isn't the smartest all the time xD

you guys know best ❤️

[pulsar portal]

the only thing that im really aware of that is a potential issue is if you have any plugins that save any data on the proxy itself you need to make sure it's synced between proxies, but in most cases that's not a problem or if it is those plugins mostly provide ways like saving to a database

[rancid fjord]

only plugins I put on my proxies is geyser

and maybe like a MOTD plugin

[potent trench]

Minehut handles geyser for you so you only need that on your second proxy if you are gonna do that.

[rancid fjord]

the one linked up to minehut? or not linked?

okay so I got my proxy setup and I'm testing connections to my network before I add minehut, when I try to join it looks like it'll work, but then the connection times out

[pulsar portal]

what's in the logs? probably an ip or firewall misconfig

[rancid fjord]

just says timed out xD

internal error occured

[rancid fjord]

IP is correct in the toml

[rancid fjord]

so second proxy isn't possible. Is there any other ways I can allow players to join my server without going through the minehut lobby?

[pulsar portal]

you don't need to go through the lobby either way?

[rancid fjord]

oh really?????

omg xD

would I just need to use a different IP to join or something?

[pulsar portal]

no just .minehut.gg like any other minehut server

[rancid fjord]

Sorry, still trying to understand. So I type .minehut.gg and I join my server? Or do I need to setup a domain with them?

[rancid fjord]

OHHHH!

omg

I'm blonde

Thank you xD

so if I connect my own custom domain, is it the same for bedrock and java?

[pulsar portal]

idk how you can get bedrock working

[rancid fjord]

so bedrock might just be the 2nd IP?

[rancid fjord]

To clarify, once I setup dns people will join and directly go to my network with the custom domain?

[rancid fjord]

@pulsar portal hello?

[pulsar portal]

i don't know what you mean with that

[storm ether]

You call your server mrtibo?

[rancid fjord]

I wanted to know if I link my custom domain to the minehut.gg one will it send players directly to my network? Or do they have to go through minehut first?

[pulsar portal]

one of the many servers on my profile

[storm ether]

oh

[pulsar portal]

if you use the minehut.gg you go through the minehut proxies

[rancid fjord]

so they have to go through the minehut lobby?

[pulsar portal]

no

[rancid fjord]

when I do my minehut.gg domain it sends me to minehut's lobby

[pulsar portal]

then you're setting it up wrong, or read what it says in chat

[rancid fjord]

it says I was kicked from SkyMata reason unknown

[pulsar portal]

are you able to /join it

[rancid fjord]

ahhh it says I do not have bungeecord IP correctly setup

I can add the flag and I bet it'll work

but the main issue I'm having right now is that my SkyMata.Games domain won't link up to my minehut.gg one

[rancid fjord]

I used a txt reccord and waited 2 days

[pulsar portal]

txt is only for verification

[rancid fjord]

ohhh

duh

[rancid fjord]

do I need a cname then?

[pulsar portal]

no SRV

and first of all

you need to make sure you can /join it

[rancid fjord]

got it

[rancid fjord]

can I do the same thing for the bedrock IP too?

[pulsar portal]

Idk you can try stuff but i don't know how other people got it working

[rancid fjord]

okay

[rancid fjord]

how do I know the bedrock port?

[pulsar portal]

default

[rancid fjord]

didn't work for the bedrock.skymata.minehut.gg

reading other tickets it seems like there's no way to direct connect bedrock to my network through minehut. Is that correct?

[light vector]

the correct bedrock IP would be servername.bedrock.minehut.gg, you have it flipped in your example

You can use a CNAME record for Bedrock, it doesn't support SRV

[rancid fjord]

thank you so much!

[rancid fjord]

is it proxied or DNS only? not sure which to choose

[light vector]

DNS only

[rancid fjord]

you're the bestest tysm

[rancid fjord]

Since they'll be connecting through minehut, do I still need to have geyser on my proxy? or does minehut handle it all?

[light vector]

you won't need geyser anymore, Minehut will handle all of that for you

[rancid fjord]

so if I want to add a bedrock texture pack I won't be able to?

[light vector]

correct

[rancid fjord]

noted, thank you for the info

[light vector]

yep no problem

[rancid fjord]

so I added the startup flag and everything to my network and it won't connect xD

tried reading the instructions and it still won't connect.

[rancid fjord]

can you help??

I keep getting an error message saying "incomplete set of tags received from server" when I try to join my server.

a couple of my players can join, but 60% can't. And bedrock can't join at all

[rancid fjord]

Is it possible to setup my second instance with my velocity proxy for minehut with TCP shield? They might be blocking my connection.

[potent trench]

yeah you can use tcp shield for an external through minehut

[rancid fjord]

the odd thing is when I add my second proxy through tcp shield I can't join whatsoever. Any idea why?

[potent trench]

is your second proxy the one that is going through Minehut?

[rancid fjord]

yes
