My server doesn't show up on the list
-
I tried to create a server, and it does appear in https://list.plutools.pw/.
The problem is when I want to invite my friends or to select it from the servers list.
So I'm pretty sure that the problem is in my port forwarding config.I tried to watch a few tutorials but none of them could help me, because my router page is different.
Here's how it looks like:

https://gyazo.com/965c6a6f3f0eb3b90a2df58f879b4e67well it can't work if you don't fill in any data..
leave "external host" blank
on "internal host" set the ipv4 address of the pc that is hosting the server, you can obtain it by running "ipconfig" via cmd on said pc
set your server's port in "external port" and "internal port", if you run game and server on the same pc and you haven't changed the port in the server's startup batch file it'll probably be 4977 -
Dss0 yeah, I don't know why, yesterday I thought sending that screenshot would be helpful ^^".
In fact, I filled all the empty fields (but inexplicably sent the scrshot with these empty).
Before, I also tried doing what you said, but it doesn't work either (maybe I do not leave external host blank).I will try again and see what happens. Thx for replying!

Dss0 Still doesn't work
Here it is what did I write in my port forwarding web:
https://gyazo.com/28a8805040583dd5975af23ef5c71e7bAnd that's what the server shows up:
https://gyazo.com/84787004f23806924794af276ae12a31Don't know what to do. It does not appear in server list.
I also cannot connect using the URL shown in plutools:

TheCrazyVagrant you set 4976 as the internal port but your server is running on 4977, you can see that on the plutools site.
The plutools site directly pulls servers from our api, this just means the server itself is working and has announced itself to our master server however for players to be able to actually connect to it they need to be able to send UDP traffic to the server, that's what the port forwarding rule is for. -

Mmm, I tried changing it to 4977 but still doesn't work. Maybe it is just a silly thing like restarting my router?? I will try it, and if it works, then I will post it (even if it doesn't work, I will post bc I still need help xD).I would like to send mores screenshots, but I'm not sure what should I should (in order to not compromise my data).
Anyway, that's what I did:
- Open ports this way: https://gyazo.com/172361c41c6782edbcc4c191ceaabede
(My router config doesn't allow me to write a range of ports in "internal ports" section so, if I write "4976" it shows me a range of "4976-4977", and the screenshot shows "4977-4978" bc I wrote "4977"). - Config my input and output rules from my firewall.
(Trying to allow UDP and TDP connections from both 4976-4977 and 4977-4978 ports). - I enabled an option in my router config webpage called "DMZ".
- I wrote in my "!start_mp_server.bat" set port=4977.
And that's all I did. Sorry if my previous information was not clear at all ^^"", and thank you so much for keep helping!
P.S: Quick addition! Everytime I try to check my ports online, the websites say that my external address is "78.30.10.211". Don't know if it has something to do with this though.

I will try it, and if it works, then I will post it (even if it doesn't work, I will post bc I still need help xD).if your server has 4977 set in the batch file and it says it's running on 4977 when typing "net_port" into the server console then 4977 is the only port you need to forward. 4977 UDP, that's it.
if you even enabled DMZ and it still didn't work that's strange. Only 3 things i can think of then:
- your windows firewall rule is misconfigured, pls post a screenshot of it
- you have some antivirus software blocking the connection
- your provider is using CGNAT, in this case you won't be able to host any servers at home. You can check if you have a "status" page on your router's web interface that shows the WAN (or external) IP. If that ip is different from the one shown on plutools or port checker websites you're behind CGNAT.
P.S: Quick addition! Everytime I try to check my ports online, the websites say that my external address is "78.30.10.211". Don't know if it has something to do with this though.
yea that's your wan ip, that's fine. I think those port checker websites just ping the service that's running on the port but a pluto server won't respond to a ping.

Dss0 Okay. I checked my router's status page and you're right. My WAN is different from the other ones, and I also checked online and found that my internet provider uses CG-NAT.

I'm afraid that means that's all
. Well, thank you so much for helping these days!P.S:
- The only antivirus I use is Windows Defender.
- These are the firewall rules:

TheCrazyVagrant yea.. sadly not possible to host servers with cgnat, you have to rent a vps.
