Alright, so the server ports are set correctly and you’ve opened them on your router – excellent start! A couple of sanity checks to keep us rolling:
-
Public IP Test: Make sure you’re giving your friends your public IP, not your internal LAN IP (something like
192.168.x.x
won’t work for them). You can grab it easily by Googling “What’s my IP?”. -
Port Open Test: Run a port check on, say,
7781 UDP
, to confirm it’s successfully open. Use a tool like canyouseeme.org or equivalent but make sure the server is running when you test. If something’s blocking it, that’s our next lead.
Tell me what you find!
