Server not accessible? - ColonelPhantom - 09-30-2017
Hey guys,
I'm trying to host a Xonotic server on my home connection so me and a friend can play together. The server itself works pretty much fine, but only from the local network. I forwarded the correct port (26000, didnt change it), but the Info button doesnt do anything when typing either my domain or IP address, and the join button does nothing. Any help?

Check if you forwarded your ports correctly, you can use link below (fill in your ip address and port).

If you have an unconventional network set up e.g multiple routers or modem to device to router, you might have extra steps. As far as I know the join button would do nothing if you were banned from your own server and maybe if you enabled encryption connections and it took too much cpu time within a frame.

Thanks, I figured it out, I accidentally port forwarded only TCP instead of both TCP and UDP. Why my router doesn't forward both by default is a mystery to me.
