Alrighty, let’s break down the problem and get you connected to that V Rising server!
Let’s Start with Some Basics:
- Home Hosting Check: Are you hosting this server from your home network? If so, you’ll need to set up both local firewall rules and port forwarding on your router.
- Port Forwarding: V Rising typically needs ports 9876 (UDP) and 9877 (UDP) for game traffic. Have you done this step yet?
- Firewall Rules: Make sure your firewall allows traffic on the above-mentioned ports.
Next Steps:
Port Forwarding
- Access your router settings: This usually involves typing something like
192.168.1.1
into your web browser. - Find the port forwarding section: This varies by router but is often under ‘Advanced’ or ‘NAT’ settings.
- Forward ports 9876 and 9877: Both should be set to UDP.
Firewall Rules on your Server (Linux)
- Check your firewall status: Run
sudo ufw status
to see if a firewall is active. - Allow the necessary ports:
sudo ufw allow 9876/udp sudo ufw allow 9877/udp
After you confirm these settings, let’s see if you’re able to connect. Let me know how it goes or if you need more detailed steps on any part!
