Hello people
This will be for some a dumb topic, but for some a informative topic. (Hopefully)
So, I don't understand much from servers, so I didn't found any topics about it, so decided to make mine. I would like to start my server, because I really love the fact that I learned much about all of this.
But now I have a problem about port forwarding.
- In 'file explorer > Network', I would normally find my router which I can port forward, but this isn't the case.
- Do I need to do all of this even if I get a VPS ?
I normally did the port forwarding through the site of my internet provider, so do I still need to do it via "file explorer > network > [router]" also ??
I would like some full answers, because sometimes you guys are thinking that we are on same levels, but nope
Thank you in advance

That's not at all how it works, you have to access your router's web interface, that can't be done via windows explorer.
Check this guide: https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-port-forward-4163829- Do I need to do all of this even if I get a VPS ?
No, if you get a windows vps the only thing you have to do is allow plutonium or the port the server uses to communicate through the windows firewall.

Do you suggest any VPS ? (for Windows)
Thanks for the answers, you saved me a lot of time !

AlpaKing ovh is alright: https://www.ovhcloud.com/en-ie/vps/os/vps-windows/
The cheapest one should be fine for a single server, if you want to host more than one get the bigger one. -

And you know any setup guide or video ?? Because I've tried it myself and really don't know how to connect my server to it.

AlpaKing for what exactly? Setting up a t6 server is covered here: https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/13/plutot6-server-set-up-guide

No no, I have already setup my server. I just want it to be on the servers list, and I got myself a vps for it from OVHcloud, but now I don't know how to connect both.
-
AlpaKing you need to setup your server on the vps itself, they should have provided you with either rdp, vnc or kvm login details with which you can login on your vps.

Sorry for bothering you, you try to help me, but i must be stupid
.
I just don't understand the step where I start my zm server with the IPv4 of my VPS, which port do i have to use, do I even need a port.
So, my problem is: I don't know how to connect my zm server with my VPS.
Didn't find any solutions on the web for hours now. -
AlpaKing so is the server running on the vps now? Well as i said, you need to add plutonium-bootstrapper-win32.exe to the windows firewall on the vps (allow incoming traffic). Alternatively you can allow incoming traffic on port 4976 udp also via the windows firewall on the vps. After you did that the server should just be visible on the serverlist.
-
That's the problem, when running the server in the console it's connected to "localhost:4977", But i want it to connect to my vps. I didn't put anywhere in files the ipv4 of the vps.
-
AlpaKing mate, i already told you that you need to setup the server ON the vps and your provider (ovh) should have provided you with login details to kvm..
Check this: https://docs.ovh.com/us/en/vps/windows-first-config/
A vps is basically a virtual pc running in the cloud that you can connect to and login at just like you would at your pc at home. You need to set up your server on that virtual pc, not at home.

login details to kvm..
Okay I got it.... those umbalumba's KVM console is in QWERTY, and because I can't see the what I'm typing as password I didn't see it. Now I'm finally connected, THANKS MATE !
If further questions, I'll reply here instead of a topic, is it good for you ?
(thanks again) -
AlpaKing alright, glad you got it resolved
Ye sure u can reply here. -
Hey
Now that I'm logged in, in step 2 it says that the initial setup screens will be displayed, but it doesn't.
Or do you know another way to connect to it ? -
AlpaKing does it just display nothing? Maybe try rebooting it, there should be an option somewhere in the control panel.
I'm just guessing, i never owned a ovh windows vps.
