Strange i have my server behind a load balancing router also your modem is a router and modem in one, with your modem you unblocked all ports for the server did you also do this with your router ? another thing is you said you unblocked ports 4254 to 4259 if you want to use the rcon tool your need to also unblock 4253

Hm, Then I need to do some more testing with that.

No, I did that on the router the port forwarding.
I'd have to look up some info on my modem to see if it has router functionality built in, but even if it has I'm pretty sure it's not enabled now.
I'll do some more testing somewhere this week probably.

rcon, is that short for "remote console"? And used for remote management? That's disabled in the server properties. And I'm not really planning on using that. (The server is running on an old laptop which I can manage directly)

I set that variable, but still nothing.

However, when I hooked my server up straight to the modem (so no router inbetween) it did indeed show up in the list.
So I guess running from behind a router is just not supported?

Well, at least I figured out how to make it show up there even though I would prefer to have it behind my router.

Hi,

I have a server set up which works perfectly. It's both accessible within my LAN and from an external IP (for the external IP I'm using a VPN seeing that I don't know anyone else who owns the game).
Yet the server is not displayed in the in-game server list. I was told it should be listed automatically?
This post also mentions that the server might not be listed if you're within the same LAN yet even when connecting through the VPN (from a different country) the server isn't in the list.
I even connected my computer directly to the modem (before the router) so that both PCs are definitely not in the same LAN and the result is the same.

The server's network situation:
The network is a home internet connection. [internet]->[router]->[server]
The router is configured to forward the ports 4254-4259 (UDP+TCP) to the server.
The server has a static IP within the LAN, so the port forwards should keep working.
My external IP is (I think) dynamic though, although it doesn't change often.
I set up a dynamic dns to point to my ip: terranova-risingworld.duckdns.org (I can connect to my server using this domain when picking "Connect to IP")

Besides the server name strings the server config is unchanged.
So server_list_visible=true

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

ive explained above that if you connect to your sever from the same ip you may not see your server in the list, but other players do, if your connecting from another ip address outside of your own and don't see your server in the list try to refresh the list if still no luck, then report that to red51 by making a new post, for the info i provided, it was just letting you know the simple and best way to connect to your own server as this way will have the best ping as your connection dose not need a vpn to connect to your own network. maybe you know this IDK but i provided this info anyway.

Aah, I see
Thanks for the help.

I don't know anyone else with the game so I had to figure out something where I could access my server from an external IP myself.
Hence the VPN.

But I'll make a new thread then.

if your inside your own network lan then to connect to your own server you can type the servers lan ip address along with the port into the box that says connect to ip oO the lan address would look something like this 192.168.1.1:4255

Hm, how is this reply relevant?
I already mentioned that connecting works fine. Both from inside my LAN and when accessing from the internet.
My issue is that the server isn't showing up in the in-game server list.

the server will be auto added you wont need to do a thing. but note if your using the same internet connection as your server is on then you often dont see your own server in the list, but other players outside will see it fine.

I can't seem to be able to verify my server is in the game list.
I turned off all filters for the list and am connecting through a VPN (Which effectively should make it seem I'm connecting from outside my LAN) but don't see the server in the list.

To be complete with the information:
I'm running the server on a 2nd pc through my home internet connection behind a router.
I have forwarded the required ports and can connect to my server when I'm using a VPN on my desktop (a different computer from the server).
However, I noticed I can't ping my home ip when I'm on vpn and I can do that when I'm not connected through vpn. Not sure if this is important?

If you want to try connecting yourself you can try this domain: terranova-risingworld.duckdns.org
That should resolve to my home ip
