Failed to find a server but I did everything ( port forward and login token ) | Unturned | Page 1

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 8:25 PM

#

Any help ?

#

#

This is the port forward

#

Is there anything wrong ?

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 8:34 PM

#

Nothing wrong there other than you not just having one rule and for some reason censoring the LAN IP

#

How do you get your internet connection? mobile? fiber?

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 8:35 PM

#

ionic field Nothing wrong there other than you not just having one rule and for some reason ...

I didn't know if that ip is important so I just censored it

#

but it's the ipv4

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 8:35 PM

#

ionic field Nothing wrong there other than you not just having one rule and for some reason ...

Well it doesn't matter anyway

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 8:35 PM

#

ionic field How do you get your internet connection? mobile? fiber?

fiber

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 8:36 PM

#

It is just that censoring lan ip does not matter because that IP is just for people in the same house as you

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 8:36 PM

#

oh my bad

#

#

the same is for 27016

#

anyway my friends are saying that they see "Failed to find the server" error

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

You could have had the start port as 27015 and end port as 27016

#

Hmm

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

I will do this after

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

when you google what is my IP

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

But right now I want to know the problem

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

is it ipv4 or ipv6

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

??

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

Also to make sure

#

what ip did you give your friends?

#

the ip you used in port fowarding?

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

They joined via steam

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

Ah kk

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 8:38 PM

#

One thing tho is weird

#

in the steam view servers I can find 2

#

Also that's not my ip

#

The server looks like this also

#

sooo, any idea ?

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 8:40 PM

#

Ok google "what is my ip"

#

give your friends that IP

#

and tell them to try direct connect using that

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 8:41 PM

#

and how do they connect using the ip ?

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 8:41 PM

#

in unturned

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 8:41 PM

#

oh nbp

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 8:41 PM

#

there is direct connect

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 8:41 PM

#

nvm

#

yeah

#

one sec

#

port 27015 right ?

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 8:42 PM

#

ye

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 8:42 PM

#

ok

#

one sec

#

Same error

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 8:43 PM

#

Well then

#

last thing to check

#

you are starting the server as InternetServer and not as LanServer

proven imp Jan 21, 2023, 8:43 PM

#

bruh

#

i have the same problem

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 8:44 PM

#

ionic field you are starting the server as InternetServer and not as LanServer

yes :)))

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 8:44 PM

#

Well then

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 8:44 PM

#

start "" "%~dp0ServerHelper.bat" +InternetServer/PurpelServer

#

this thing

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 8:44 PM

#

might want to check with your ISP if you can even port foward

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 8:44 PM

#

ionic field might want to check with your ISP if you can even port foward

I did previously for ark

#

and it worked

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 8:44 PM

#

aha

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 8:44 PM

#

Btw do I start the server from the same tutorial file right ?

#

where I have the line I posted above

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

Ye

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

oh ok good

#

well then wtf is wrong

#

From what I've searched in the archive all the people I've found with the same error didn't port forward

#

But it's not the case for me yet I have the same error

proven imp Jan 21, 2023, 8:46 PM

#

bro

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 8:46 PM

#

Hmm

proven imp Jan 21, 2023, 8:47 PM

#

i did port forward

#

glst

#

everything

#

still didnt work

#

i see the server in lan but not in internet

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 8:47 PM

#

Ok and I guess the IPV4 in the port fowarding is the ipv4 of your pc

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 8:48 PM

#

ionic field Ok and I guess the IPV4 in the port fowarding is the ipv4 of your pc

yes :)))

#

IPv4 Address not Default Gateway right ?

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 8:48 PM

#

Ye

#

default gateway is your router ip

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 8:48 PM

#

oh ok

#

well yeah I have the right one

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 8:49 PM

#

Ah

#

what about firewall rules on your pc

#

do they allow 27015 and 27016

#

on UDP

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 8:50 PM

#

oh yeah

#

one thing tho

#

I had already some but I have created some extra

#

#

These are all my firewall rules related to unturned

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 8:52 PM

#

Seems good

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 8:52 PM

#

is there any problem if there are 6 ?

#

for some reason the 4 ones above were already there when I created the 2 others

#

Oh also the server won't show if I simply search for it in the servers ( internet section )

#

But obv it will show in the LAN section

#

Btw

#

I have the log

#

@ionic field

#

📎 message.txt

#

so anyway what now

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

tbh I got no idea

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 9:17 PM

#

I'm trying something right now

#

the port forward is for 27015-27016

#

but I've searched somewhere else and I think I need 2 ports ahead instead of 1

#

so basically 27015-27017

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 9:19 PM

#

dreamy sapphire but I've searched somewhere else and I think I need 2 ports ahead instead of 1

no no

#

that was couple years ago

#

it got changed

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 9:19 PM

#

oh wow

#

well shit

#

Can it be the version ?

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 9:20 PM

#

Don't think so

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 9:21 PM

#

Does the server auto update itself ?

#

Or do I need to update it

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 9:22 PM

#

depends

#

did you use steamcmd or steam

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 9:22 PM

#

ionic field did you use steamcmd or steam

steamcmd

#

#

btw I have changed to be only 1 rule

#

but it's the same

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 9:23 PM

#

dreamy sapphire steamcmd

Then it does not

#

Still it being outdated would not cause the issues that you are having

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 9:23 PM

#

oh wait I'm stupid

#

hold on

#

I've followed this

#

and

#

I've used this U3DS

#

and I've got this using steamcmd like the guide is saying

#

#

"This tool can either be installed and updated using Valve's SteamCMD tool, or (not recommended) managed through your Steam Library."

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 9:25 PM

#

ionic field Still it being outdated would not cause the issues that you are having

oh

ionic field Jan 21, 2023, 9:26 PM

#

does not matter if you use it from steam or steamcmd

#

steamcmd is better option

#

Maybe Karma would have other ideas

#

maybe they end up showing up here

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 9:28 PM

#

Hopefuly

#

I just don't know what tf is wrong

#

I followed everything from the guide

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 11:07 PM

#

I'm going to bed, hopefuly by tomorrow I'll get some help and figure what's the problem

#

@cyan flicker here

cyan flicker Jan 21, 2023, 11:29 PM

#

dreamy sapphire <@456226577798135808> here

Whats your commands.dat and config file look like? (Censor your key tho)

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 11:30 PM

#

Commands are simple, just map, password and other simple things

#

Config is basically the same as it was with a few small edits for the normal difficulty so that, for exemple, to find always weapons with full ammo

#

I would love to share them but I'm already in bed

#

Why tho?

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 11:35 PM

#

dreamy sapphire

@cyan flicker here's the log

cyan flicker Jan 21, 2023, 11:39 PM

#

did you set this
"Monetization": "None",
(don't set that to none if its monetized tho or will get banned)

and probably won't help but, try setting the port in commands if you did not already, it can't hurt

dreamy sapphire Jan 21, 2023, 11:44 PM

#

Well I didn't as the guide is saying that is not needed

#

Also the monetization thing... I haven't touched anything like that

ionic field Jan 22, 2023, 6:59 AM

#

Monetization does not matter but speaking of commands.dat
Did you happen to set the port there? If you did remove it
Because unlike what Nick said setting the default port in commands has caused issues to people in the past. Ofc you could try using a different port for the server

Also back to the firewall you did set the rule to allow both outbound and inbound on the port

cyan rose Jan 22, 2023, 12:21 PM

#

ionic field Then it does not

Yeah, however this would not matter in this instance

#

unless you're purposefully playing an old version through the betas which you'd certainly be aware of

cyan rose Jan 22, 2023, 12:26 PM

#

dreamy sapphire

only things I can think of are adding MAC Mapping (which probably won't do anything) and setting the WAN IP to be your external IP

#

before that I'd attempt disabling your firewall entirely and seeing whether that lets them join (using your external IP, not through Steam or the server browser)

#

if that works you can narrow the issue to likely be something about the firewall and we can go from there

cyan rose Jan 22, 2023, 12:29 PM

#

proven imp i see the server in lan but not in internet

this, by the way, is expected behaviour and is perfectly fine

cyan rose Jan 22, 2023, 12:30 PM

#

ionic field Monetization does not matter but speaking of commands.dat Did you happen to set ...

and yeah, particularly specifying IP (and on rare occasion port) in the commands.dat has caused issues in the past

dreamy sapphire Jan 22, 2023, 1:24 PM

#

ionic field Monetization does not matter but speaking of commands.dat Did you happen to set ...

Nope didn't set it there

dreamy sapphire Jan 22, 2023, 1:25 PM

#

cyan rose before that I'd attempt disabling your firewall entirely and seeing whether that...

Oh ok

#

I'll try it in a few minutes

cyan rose Jan 22, 2023, 1:28 PM

#

ionic field Maybe Karma would have other ideas

GrieferThonk of course I have them ideas

#

it's a different matter as to whether they'll solve the issue

dreamy sapphire Jan 22, 2023, 2:06 PM

#

cyan rose before that I'd attempt disabling your firewall entirely and seeing whether that...

this should be ok right ?

#

I'm starting the server and my friend will join via direct connect using my ip

#

ok for some reason this worked

#

@cyan rose what now

#

so there must be a problem with the firewall rules

#

I have 6 rules for unturned

cyan rose Jan 22, 2023, 2:10 PM

#

I'd recommend making a blanket rule that's not application specific

dreamy sapphire Jan 22, 2023, 2:10 PM

#

dreamy sapphire

these are the 6 rules

dreamy sapphire Jan 22, 2023, 2:11 PM

#

cyan rose I'd recommend making a blanket rule that's not application specific

shouldn't I try and delete the 2 I've made yesterday tho ?

#

Btw all of these are inbound rules

cyan rose Jan 22, 2023, 2:11 PM

#

could do that

cyan rose Jan 22, 2023, 2:12 PM

#

dreamy sapphire Btw all of these are inbound rules

oh yeah, you'd want an outbound rule as well

dreamy sapphire Jan 22, 2023, 2:12 PM

#

There is none right now

cyan rose Jan 22, 2023, 2:12 PM

#

specifically I recommend making an inbound rule for ports 27015-27016 that allows UDP traffic and an outbound rule for the same ports that allows UDP traffic

#

the rule type should also be port instead of program as program can occasionally cause issues

dreamy sapphire Jan 22, 2023, 2:13 PM

#

what about these 4

#

they were already there before I've tried anything

cyan rose Jan 22, 2023, 2:13 PM

#

you can leave them

dreamy sapphire Jan 22, 2023, 2:13 PM

#

oh ok

#

Don't I need a UDP and a TCP rule tho ?

cyan rose Jan 22, 2023, 2:14 PM

#

so yeah just go to inbound rules > new rule > rule type (port) > protocol and ports (UDP, 27015-27016)

#

then the same for outbound

cyan rose Jan 22, 2023, 2:14 PM

#

dreamy sapphire Don't I need a UDP and a TCP rule tho ?

unturned just uses UDP

dreamy sapphire Jan 22, 2023, 2:15 PM

#

oh

#

should I change that in the port forward too ?

#

Right now it's set to UDP and TCP

cyan rose Jan 22, 2023, 2:16 PM

#

well, you could but there's no real need to do that

dreamy sapphire Jan 22, 2023, 2:16 PM

#

oh ok

#

I've done the rules I'm gonna try right now

#

Btw the outbound should allow connection right ?

#

Btw how come it's saying 0 plugins found ?

#

I have one put in the plugins folder

#

It worked now

#

My friend could join even with my firewall on right now

#

Thank you @cyan rose !

#

so just before I leave this cursed thread , why isn't my plugin loading ?

#

Nvm I'm stupid
