Host dedicated server does not work *solved, see comments*

Recommended Posts

For three days I have tried to set up a dedicated server, but I can only connect to it locally, not from other networks.

 

What I have triede so far but nothing worked:

Setting up port forwarding manually and with UPNP. 

Opened ports in my firewall.

Made exception of game folder in my antivirus (Windows defender).

Opened ekstra Ports.

Hosting game with and without mods.

Searched for the game with local and public IP.

Deleted the server and game folder and started over.

 

Does anyone have an idea of what I'm missing?

Server specs:

i5-4700mq (4 cores 8 threads)

16 GB 1600 MHz RAM

250 GB SSD

Windows 10 

NVIDIA GT 730

Maybe your network is NAT type 3 wich means that your router is not the one exposed to de internet.
You can use a vpn to connect (and all users) using the vpn internal ip, i suggest hamachi log me in to create a network at least to test. in such case you need to disable use of steam on projectzomboid64.json to zomboid.steam=0.

Hi

Thanks for the suggestion.

 

I called my ISP and they told me, that I did not have a public IP, even though it was listed in the router settings.

They then set one up for me and now my server works. 👍

 

Glad to hear. now you have a NAT type 1 or 2 network.
