How do I get the server online via radmin vpn

[newusear]

Hello everyone,

I got a 15.x server up on canary and created a network in radmin vpn just to play w a friend, but he can`t connect...

My server ip is the same as radmin, I also changed client to these below and shared with him:

loginWebService=http://<radmin vpn ip>:8090/login.php
clientWebService=http://<radmin vpn ip>:8090/login.php

I can access on my pc w this modified client without issues, both site and game, he can also load character list but gets : cannot establish connection to the game.... like the server was offline...

I am using W11 and disabled firewall/defender etc all I could think of.. still nothing... Do I still need to open ports on modem settings even tough its's VPN? idk what is blocking it... any help is appreciated.


Thanks!

In your config.lua
Make sure ip or server binding is set to 0.0.0.0 (not 127.0.0.1 or your real IP).
Confirm the game port (usually 7171/7172) matches what the client expects.
Login port and game port should be listening on the Radmin IP as well.

I have just this setting, is it correct? or should I change/add something in there ?

--bindOnlyGlobalAddress = false

ports also seems correct, this is the config below, and how do I ping/test ports listening in Radmin IP?

-- Connection Config
-- NOTE: allowOldProtocol can allow login on 10x protocol. (11.00)
-- NOTE: maxPlayers set to 0 means no limit
-- NOTE: MaxPacketsPerSeconds if you change you will be subject to bugs by WPE, keep the default value of 25,
-- It's recommended to use a range like min 50 in this function, otherwise you will be disconnected after equipping two-handed distance weapons.
ip = "<radminip>"
allowOldProtocol = false
bindOnlyGlobalAddress = false
loginProtocolPort = 7171
gameProtocolPort = 7172

serverName = "OTServBR-Global"
serverMotd = "Welcome to the OTServBR-Global!"
statusTimeout = 5 * 1000

maxPacketsPerSecond = 25
maxPlayersOnlinePerAccount = 1
maxPlayersOutsidePZPerAccount = 1

Read my comment again, ip set to 0.0.0.0

haha thanks! I was overthinking it... changed here and works for me, will try having my friend log in later.

 

[newusear]

so we tested that way and same thing he can load characters list but is unable to log in...

firewall and defender disabled.. what else can it be? do i need to mess with something in that local host file? system32/drivers/etc/

If YOU can log in using the Radmin IP from the same PC, but your friend cannot, then
server binding is probably OK
external routing/firewall or advertised IP is wrong

The most likely culprit now is:
wrong world/game IP being sent after character selection
or TCP 7172 blocked externally.

Hey there!

I was busy in other activities but couldn't get this to work.. I am trying again from scratch.

So my internet provider owns the router, albeit I have access its limited (its set to "controller" work mode were they can access to diag etc) I also cannot fully disable firewall in there, all I can do is change its security to low which doesn't seem to do much...
I can add port forwarding/binding, but they doesnt seem to work in this current operation mode, maybe I am doing something wrong.

The bottom line is, is this really necessary if my friend is logging by VPN? I am betting its just a windows security/IP issue like you mentioned ---wrong world/game IP being sent after character selection >> how do i test this ?

Please help me understand the basics.. does the login ip set on client/xampp php website has to be the same as canary.exe server ip? should I set those apart? i figured once my friend is in my LAN he can connect to PHP so why not to the server..
