HELP ASAP Port Forwarding virgin media router

ancient yacht
#

udp, local start port 27015, local end port 27016, external same ports

tired treeBOT
ancient yacht
#

assuming you're using the default port, otherwise any valid 2-port range will do (if you're not sure just use the default)

deft prairie
jaunty lance
#

so to confirm, this config should work

#

only asking as this is the exact same as i tried a couple minutes ago and it didnt work(i was probs doing something else wrong)

#

left is local

#

right is external

ancient yacht
#

also need to set the local IP if you didn't set it

#

(ipconfig in command prompt on windows)

jaunty lance
#

yep got it

#

so now that i have this set up, i start my server from the dedicated server tool, correct?

ancient yacht
#

assuming you actually have a valid external IP the only other thing that could make it not work is a firewall

deft prairie
#

Wait, Karma

ancient yacht
deft prairie
#

doesn't Unturned use TCP as well?

ancient yacht
#

nope

#

just UDP

jaunty lance
deft prairie
#

Figured some of the UI plugin methods ensured usage of TCP to ensure gameplay affecting elements were properly sent.

jaunty lance
#

also thank you guys for the quick help i am eternally grateful

ancient yacht
#
  1. Enable UDP protocol.
    from the article :p
ancient yacht
#

but in general the server itself as well as at least any plugins that don't connect to remote hosts should work with just UDP

jaunty lance
ancient yacht
#

well, however you started the server in the tutorial should work fine

#

it's just the same thing after all, making an external script is generally recommended but not technically required

jaunty lance
#

is there a video or tutorial u could recommend?

deft prairie
#

Send him Nelson's one

jaunty lance
#

all the ones ive looked at are different and its driving me nuts

ancient yacht
#

anything made in 2020 or after should work tbh

jaunty lance
#

ok

tired treeBOT
ancient yacht
#

this is the official documentation

deft prairie
#

This one.

ancient yacht

ancient yacht
#

Jdance this really is so useful

deft prairie
#

I know right?!

#

Makes answering these tickets so much easier.

ancient yacht
#

realistically it just saves me from having to search the docs manually (though tbh I still have it open somewhere) but it's just convenient even if it functionally saves maybe 2 seconds

#

at least on PC that is, on a phone, well, whole other story

#

honestly I could probably write some of the common docs page urls from pure memory though :p

jaunty lance
#

also, if my friend is connecting to my server i send him my local ipv4 but what will he put as the port

#

27015?

ancient yacht
#

if you port forwarded and they're not at your house send them the external IP

#

and yeah, 27015 by default

jaunty lance
#

ok

deft prairie
deft prairie
#

not your private IP

ancient yacht
#

you'll also need to make and add a GSLT (as mentioned above)

ancient yacht
jaunty lance
ancient yacht
deft prairie
#

The bot sent an article about it.

ancient yacht
#

doing /support GSLT or even just GSLT would be even faster :p

jaunty lance
deft prairie
#

so one command with different params

jaunty lance
#

sorry ive literally only ever done an arma server before so this is all new

deft prairie
ancient yacht
#

your private IP here starts with 192

jaunty lance
#

ok yea thats what i thought

#

so its whatever ip i used to port forward

ancient yacht
deft prairie
#

Seriously Edge? IPv6?

ancient yacht
#

I could probably think of some nice new feature though :p - just not right now since I'm severely sleep-deprived

jaunty lance
#

whatever i put for local IP in this is my private ip correct?

ancient yacht
#

do you have a public v4? :p

deft prairie
jaunty lance
#

im so fucking confused😭

ancient yacht
#

o.o I just found out I have an IPv4 on my mobile data connection

deft prairie
ancient yacht
deft prairie
#

that could be useful.

ancient yacht
#

thus the only things that would make it faster is removing the article or docs bit

ancient yacht
ancient yacht
#

on the other hand I don't actually have a public IPv6 on my PC

deft prairie
#

how'd that happen?

ancient yacht
#

I'm pretty sure it just has something to do with the type of service paid for and how the company it's done through is doing things, I'll note that it's a fiber-optic line

Screenshot_20231110-030310.jpg
#

the IPv4 is static though which is neat

#

(for OP: this discussion isn't related to your server, though it is actually kind of relevant for server hosting)

jaunty lance
#

Do i need to make a GSLT if im planning on my friend direct connecting?

ancient yacht
#

yeah, it's required for that as well

jaunty lance
#

ok

ancient yacht
#

and yeah, that was caused by me changing my IP

#

I have since learnt to maybe not do a firewall whitelist for a specific IP instead of say, a domain, especially not on the server itself instead of using a provider solution

jaunty lance
#

bro

#

im so done

#

still not working

jaunty lance
#

i have a GSLT

#

my server is listed

#

i followed everything on nelson's tutorial

#

🥺 🔫

#

i am able to connect but my friend isnt

#

@ancient yacht

#

bro please

#

been at this an hour and have literally made no progress

#

@ancient yacht @deft prairie

hoary pivot
#

did you set it as a lan server or an internet server
