I’m having an issue trying to get people to join my game server. I am running debian on an lxc container and have installed AMP on it. I’m able to login to amp setup the instance and join myself however when I attempt to let others join nobody is able to with the Public iPv4 address and necessary port or the ip address given to me 192.168.x.x. I have setup port forwarding on my router and have assigned it to the lxc container but still am not able to get anyone to join any help with this would be greatly appreciated i’m still new to this and am not very knowledgeable.

It sounds like your issue might be with network bridging or NAT configuration in your LXC setup. The 192.168.x.x IP is local, so external players can’t connect directly. Make sure your LXC container has a bridged network interface and verify that the public IPv4 and ports are open in both your router and firewall. Also, check AMP’s server binding settings to confirm it’s listening on the correct IP.

Make sure your router → Proxmox host → LXC container network path is open. The usual blockers are service binding, firewalls, or missing NAT rules on the Proxmox host.

Ask them to check that the game server is listening on the IP, that container and host firewalls permit the port, and that the host has a DNAT rule forwarding WAN traffic to the container’s IP. That way you’ll see exactly where the connection is failing.”
