Server seems to be up, but can't connect or see it on server list

[Xerxes]

Literally just enter status into your server console.

it is running, i have portforwarded the port 28961 UDP on both my router and my firewall

[Xerxes]

Either your router does not support NAT Loopback or you don't have a public IPv4 address. Ask a friend if the can see the server or let us know the server name.

[NullParadox]

Xerxes no-one can see it hmm

[Xerxes]

Check your router's webinterface if you have a public IPv4.

[NullParadox]

Xerxes I do have one, ive thought about redoing this whole process, but we still don't know what has gone wrong, as i do seem to have a public ipv4

[Xerxes]

The server should be fine, can you connect with the connect command and the internal IP? Do you have a second System you could test that from?

[NullParadox]

Xerxes dont have a second system, and /connect does nothing either

[Xerxes]

And you did provide the correct local ip and port?
eg connect 10.0.0.1:28961 ?

[NullParadox]

NullParadox scratch that, i fixed it lmao, a mf restart did it apparently

[Xerxes]

So what was the issue or did it just magically work after the restart?
