Hello everyone, I'm running a TFS 0.4 rev 3777 on Debian, but I'm facing some issues.

Done so far:
  1. Compiled server
  2. Opened ports 7171 and 7172 both for TCP and UDP
  3. Changed my config.lua into using the ip as my public IP address (188.X.X.X)

For some reason, my friends aren't able to connect to the server.


After some experiments, here's a strange situation:
If I change my config.lua into using my local IP address (192.168.X.X) and start the server, my friends are able to retrieve the char list, but unable to enter the game.

What's going on? Am I missing something in "/etc/hosts"?
 
Solution
config.lua bindOnlyGlobalAddress = false
hosts
Code:
127.0.0.1 196.168.X.X
127.0.0.1 188.X.X.X
If nothing else works, use a no-ip domain and use that rather than your public ipv4.
