I would set up server under Linux Debian, and problem is with mine dynamic IP, when in config.lua I wrote mine dynamic dns eg "test.zapto.org" server not loading, when i put it there mine local ip eg "192.168.1.2" its work under LAN but over internet loads character list then gives 10060 error. Basically i've got idea how to fix it but i'm not high skilled IT admin and solution is script which checking external IP then if its different than in config.lua makes server save, modify config.lua then restart server. I seen one script for modify config.lua but it was for Windows. Please help me :(

Try putting your dynanic ip ".zapto.org" in config.lua and when you want to connect you use 127.0.0.1

Then tell us if it works!

Basically if I will add mine public IP in config.lua I will able to login to server through internet and LAN, but if mine IP will change I will lose access to OTS.

It seems to work. I have no clue what I done, but one change what I done was install no-ip service in my server. Obviously it was pointless as DDNS was always done by switch. Thanks lads for help.

I reboot router to check this out, I kept TFS ran and now i've got same issue. And after reboot it works once again. Perhaps is script for it, anyway to be honest, my ISP keeps IP until restart router so is not huge issue

even if you are using test.zapto.org, you will still have to restart the server if your ip changes in order for it to update the global ip address, there is no difference between using your global ip and a domain, other than that you will have to update your config.lua if your ip changes, still have to reset anyways, so it wont matter

Your problem seems to be that your router gives you a new ip when restarting etc. I'm no PRO with linux but get a static ip to your computer. Should be easy to find a guide on Google.com. Try it out then tell us if it works! :)

Your global ip is very unlikely changed. If it is you should contact your ISP because it's not suppose to change unless you requested it
