Hi all,
I successfully run 4 game servers (latest versions of Urban Terror, Unreal Tournament 2004, Xonotic & Warsow) that I can connect to with a client from the LAN and WAN by ip.
Since I changed server OS from ClearOS to initially NethServer 7, I am having problems getting listed.
Because someone advised me to solve this problem by simplifying my LAN setup (no double NAT), I changed to Proxmox and now I am running the game servers in Debian 12 based lxc containers (no firewall) with a dedicated OPNsense firewall box and a bridged router.
Old situation:
New situation:
Because I do not have this 'in-game'- (see attachment) and online listing (see attachment) problem with UT2K4, I must assume that it's not something simple like a problem with port-forwarding, because those are identical.
But with Urban Terror, Xonotic & Warsow it's only possible to connect from the Internet by ip address and not with the 'in-game'- or online listings.
I already tried every trick in the book that I could find, but this doesn't work with these 3 games.
https://arena.sh (see attachment for Xonotic & -Warsow) and https://www.urbanterror.info (see attachment for UrT) also reports that these servers are unreachable for the master servers.
The problem I have with UT2K4 is that I can't figure out how to add my server to GameTracker.com (see attachment).
For unknown reasons it reports that one of the following criteria is true:
UDP Ports:
+ Default port (used on ClearOS)
+ This port was not open by default.
+ This port was not open by default.
+ This rule was not default.
When running these game servers in my old situation I did not have any of these problems.
Together with a friend of mine who has 35+ years of experience with Proxmox and OPNsense and myself having 20+ years of experience with hosting these game servers, we confirmed that all the server- and firewall settings are correct and should work.
Please advice,
Mister J.
