Hosting on Windows VPS

[haonski]

I have a windows 10 2022 VPS all setup. The only thing I'm having trouble with is getting a server to show on the server list. I did port forward the correct port that I chose. I also allowed the bootstrapper as well. If I'm missing anything please let me know. I must be doing something wrong and this is my first time ever trying to host a server on a vps.

Normally you don't need to port forward on a VPS as they usually have their own IP address. However you need to allow the port (or easier the bootstrapper) through the Windows Firewall.

Xerxes I've Already done this.

What does the console of the server say? (Screenshot it)

[haonski]

Xerxes

[Xerxes]

Whats the name of the server? And is it running at the moment?

[haonski]

Xerxes Server name is "Staircase Challenge | by: haonski" and yea it's up and running but not showing on the server list.

[Xerxes]

And you did allow the incoming traffic in Amazon's firewall?

[haonski]

Xerxes I allowed it through the firewall of the vps.

[haonski]

Xerxes Okay I added a new rule in amazon firewall and did what it said. My server is still not showing.

[Xerxes]

Can you show the rule you added?

[haonski]

Xerxes It said set it as RDP unless I did this wrong and I also changed my port for t6 to the same one it shows on the website here in the image.

[Xerxes]

RDP != the game.
You have to forward the game port and protocol and not RDP.
