#Some people can't connect to my minecraft server.

I have everything set so people join through my cloudflare domain, it seems to be working for most people (id say 9/10) but some people can't connect to it at all.. I have no idea why this is happening.

#

I am running unbunto server with CasaOS and Crafty

near fiber

You can't proxy DNS minecraft records

@austere portal How are you DNS records setup, is the cloud orange or gray

#

If it's orange, you MUST make it gray. If it's gray, its not cloudflare problem

violet hornet
#

Then you need to make it gray, as Orange = Proxied, which is for Web (http/https) traffic only

#

No need to block out the IP, you can get it anyway

#

This isn't a cloudflare problem. However if it's minecraft, it's probably the AAAA record, minecraft doesn't like IPV6

#

Also you may want to get rid of that SRV record, because its just pointing back to your hostname anyway, and your port is 25565

violet hornet
#

Which bit

austere portal
#

like I just want the IP to work for everyone

violet hornet
#

But minecraft does that anyway

#

so delete the SRV and AAAA record, and see how it goes

#

then keep the A record

austere portal
violet hornet
#

SRV join points to A so it can be deleted

#

AAAA is ipv6 only, minecraft doesn't fully support IPV6

#

You **NEED **just the A record

#

If the AAAA (ipv6) is automatically being updated, fix your software so it only does the A (ipv4)

do u by chance also know a way of getting UDP to work on cloudflare?

violet hornet
#

I assume for Bedrock?

#

Cloudflare doesn't do any of the TCP/UDP for minecraft. it just manages your DNS.

#

Voicechat

violet hornet
#

That will be nothing to do with CF

austere portal

#

Can you form a proper sentence instead of a single character answer. Voice chat doesn't go through cloudflare.

austere portal
#

Mh

# austere portal I didn't understand, and u seem to get what i meant

the voicechat i'm guessing is running on the same IP / Server? So it will have a different port (probably 25564 if it's the voicechat plugin i'm thinking of). as long as you have the IP in a dns A record in cloudflare then the voicechat should be connected.

if your voicechat isn't connecting then it's probably an issue with the firewall setup on your server. i don't really know how the backend of your server is setup so i cannot help you further.

#

but i agree with james, the AAAA record and SRV record are completely unneeded and will just cause extra issues.

austere portal
#

both on the router and on the system 25565 is open as TCP and UDP

nova osprey
austere portal
#

yea but I changed it to the 25565

nova osprey
#

if you want to host it on the same port as the minecraft server you need set the port (in the config file for the voicechat plugin) to -1

#

but it's still a better idea to have it running on a seperate port and to allow that port through the firewall

austere portal
#

I have tried everything, disabling firewall, allowing the port, and so on

nova osprey
#

i know it sounds silly, but have you tried restarting the host machine? i remember having a similar issue and restarting the host fixed it

nova osprey
#

uhm, if you've already tried it once i don't think it will work the second time

austere portal
#

always worth a shot

nova osprey
#

you can try

#

you mentioned using ubuntu. have you allowed the port through ufw?

austere portal
#

yep

nova osprey
#

and setting the port to -1 in the config didn't fix the issue?

austere portal
#

correct

nova osprey
#

okay

austere portal
nova osprey
#

sorry the port it 24464 i misquoted it at the beginning

#

though the -1 trick should have still worked

#

try making it 24464 and then restarting the server (the mc server not the host) and see if that works

austere portal
#

its 25564

#

not 24464

#

u were right the 1st time

austere portal
#

oh

#

i changed it too 25564

#

nope nothing

#

not even if i use localhost

#

I just downgraded to an older version aswell and nothing changed

nova osprey
#

hmm weird

#

you sure the plugin is even running?

#

like if you check the server logs does it say anything about voicechat starting up?

#

or voicechat listening?

nova osprey
#

is 25564 still an open port?

austere portal
#

yep

nova osprey
#

are you sure you don't have ufw running?

austere portal
nova osprey
#

run sudo ufw status

#

can you send the output here?

austere portal
#

also i did shut down the server idk if that has an effect on that thing

nova osprey
#

shouldn't do

austere portal
nova osprey
#

uhh okay

austere portal
#

if i check with my normal ip it says its open

nova osprey
#

no port 25564 which you opened for voicechat

#

25565 is for the minecraft server

austere portal
#

I changed it back to 25565 again

#

since the change didnt help

#

its cloudflare

nova osprey
#

making it to the same port at the minecraft server will not help as both the minecraft server and the voicechat mod cannot listen on the same port at the same time

austere portal
#

my alternate ip is working

nova osprey
# austere portal

this is checking through cloudflare's proxy so it's looking at port 25565 on cloudflares servers which is not going to be open

austere portal
#

both still dont allow the voice chat to work

nova osprey
#

if you do an actual dns request for that domain is returns your ip 85... which has port 25565 open

#

cloudflare isn't the issue

#

if you want voicechat to run on 25565 you need to set the port to -1 in the config

#

this whole thing should really be a ticket in the simple voice chat mod discord and not here since this is for cloudflare issues

#

i can guarantee that this isn't a cloudflare issue.

austere portal
#

24464 is also not working, I just tried it

nova osprey
#

did you restart the server after setting the port to -1 in the config?

austere portal
#

yes

nova osprey
#

i don't know then, i cannot help you any further. i'd recommend opening a ticket in the simple voice chat discord server

austere portal
#

damn

#

ngl its pissing me off lmao

nova osprey
#

yeah i had a similar issue a while back on one of my servers

austere portal
#

how did u solve it?

nova osprey
#

rebooted the host machine, but i think it was an issue with the firewall with the service i was using as a host

#

i think me restarting the machine updated the firewall settings

austere portal
#

they were absolutely useless

violet hornet
#

Why not just test with a differenty port, it literally says "Not recommended" because 25565 udp has other things usually flowing through it
