problems with portforwarding

[indigo lake]

So people just can't join?

Or are you trying a online port checker

[arctic estuary]

am trying online port checker, someone did try to join but they cant

[arctic estuary]

yep

[arctic estuary]

its the only dedicated server that i had problems with it... other servers just work fine

[analog gyro]

Are you port fowarding for a server or for friends?

Because port forwarding just to play with friends is a really strange way to go about it.

[arctic estuary]

wdym?

[analog gyro]

As in, are you running a server?

Or are you just trying to play with friends?

[arctic estuary]

ye thats what i want to

[analog gyro]

bruh

Just start the game as multiplayer

You don't need to port forward

[arctic estuary]

i dont want to play with my friends.. i want to develop a darkrp server

thats my plan

[analog gyro]

Invite your friends through steam

[arctic estuary]

but i cant do it alone.. i need friends help

[analog gyro]

Well, you want a server host for that.

self hosting a server is a bad idea, usually.

[arctic estuary]

yeah ik one.. but i dont want to pay monthly to just make it

[arctic estuary]

yeah i just want to make it then ill buy a server host

[arctic estuary]

ik how to make one

and i know how to portforward it

the problem is its not working

it doesnt portforward

even tho i have multiple servers portforwarded

[arctic estuary]

..

still asking for help

You don't need to port forward for a local development server, only if you want other players to join. Make sure you define the port in your startup script as the same port you're forwarding. -port 27015 is the default.

@arctic estuary if you REALLY want to do it, and still can't port forward. Use hamachi i guess

[arctic estuary]

did that.. didnt work

[arctic estuary]

i mean thats a good idea... am just trying to figure WHY is gmod the only game thats not forwarding

[indigo lake]

Normally port forward websites won't show that the server is running on gmod

Gmod is known for being like that

[torn spruce]

There is a server host which provides free development servers. I can’t link it here but you can probably find it yourself.

[analog gyro]

@arctic estuary, I cannot imagine ban evading and then linking the accounts that you're evading from on your discord account lmao

[arctic estuary]

huh?

wdym?

[analog gyro]

You've got three steam accounts linked to your discord

two are vacced

[arctic estuary]

well

am not happy about it

but its my accounts

[analog gyro]

Well if you weren't happy about it, why cheat again lmao

[arctic estuary]

not in the same game

...

[analog gyro]

So?

Still a cheater.

[arctic estuary]

as i said

am not happy about it

[analog gyro]

No, you're not happy you got banned lmao

Otherwise, you wouldn't have two bans.

[arctic estuary]

ok

congrats

[indigo lake]

@analog gyro I cannot believe that its pointless to say that and doesn't matter

[analog gyro]

This message is so confusing.

[indigo lake]

Meant to confuse

[analog gyro]

why did it take two months to say that?

[indigo lake]

idk
