#Need help with port forwarding (maybe?)

Unturned uses UDP port, so any port checker will show it as closed still

This is my port forwarding settings

this is my firewall settings

only by trying to joining via IP

#

10, 127, 172, 192

#

there are a few other IPs that wouldn't work (such as anything starting with 224 or higher or 0.0.0.0) but those are the main ones

#

it's pretty rare to see any except 192 out of the ones listed as well, 127 is loopback, 10. is for class As, 172 is for class Bs

#

(it's specifically uncommon to have residential/etc. be out of anything but class Cs, (or sometimes class Bs) class As and Bs are somewhat common in the larger hosting industry)

what's the subnet mask/gateway? and are those default settings?

#

if all of those are at default chances are you don't need to change them

#

(I'll note that I'm almost certain I know what the subnet mask and gateways are, I'd just want to make sure they're the defaults, the only actually private bit of info is the internet IP)

chances are that the IP being set to dynamic is the right move and DNS/etc. being automatic is fine

#

for some things you'd want to have them be static but if that was the case for you, well, you'd probably know

remote dune
#

anything other than it gives us some information but not enough to identify you to a significant degree

#

basically the worst case would be narrowing you down from millions to one of several hundred (And I'll ntoe that even sharing the actual IP isn't generally much of a risk unless someone was specifically trying to find your IP)

#

iirc that looks fine

#

there's something name DHCP Server settings do i need to turn it off? (its basically enabled)

remote dune
#

I would put those at dynamic/automatic/etc. though, at least if they were set at those before you changed them and you didn't consult anyone about changing them to set ones

#

generally you shouldn't touch anything you don't know about when it comes to this stuff

#

for example unless you actually have a static IP your internet will eventually break if it's set to static

#

(specifically because when your actual IP changes the IP that you're now trying to connect from no longer is yours and thus doesn't work for you)

#

previously I thought of using static because I read some documentation recommending using static instead of dynamic

remote dune
#

using a static IP over a dynamic IP is recommended but, well, it doesn't work by just setting your IP to static

#

the way it works is having your ISP assign you a static IP

#

which usually, if it's even an option, costs extra

#

you'd likely have to call/otherwise contact your ISP to confirm whether you have a static/dynamic IP and if not whether you can get one

brazen loom
#

if using static and dynamic is not a problem then I don't know what problem I am facing. Because I had previously set port forwarding with Dynamic IP on the firewall, it was also set, but my friend couldn't connect to my server

remote dune
#

well, you could check 27016 tcp for example

#

assuming that 192.168.1.102 is your local PCs IP the port forwarding should be correct though
