Dedicated server hosted on Azure Help

[Arcano30]

I have setup a dedicated server on azure (I got up to $300 per month I can use free), I setup a D4as v5 (4vcpus and 16GB memory), the server is running, but I cant get it to connect,
I have opened firewall ports at OS, NSG I have inbound and outbound 7777, 7778, 27015 on any protocol, any source any destination. Still im unable to connect to the server.

Anyone able to help or has ever setup an azure server for ark and run into similar problems?

By unable do you mean you see the server in the list but you're unable to connect? Or does it not appear at all?

You cant use a server provider different than Nitrado.
You will not be able to connect

I thought we couldn't make private servers....or did they revert that restriction?

You could always setup private servers. The Nitrado announcement was for limiting people to hosting 1 dedicated server per steam account. Im not sure how there's so much misinformation on that as it was crystal clear on their website. Probably some loser YouTube channel.

They've since reverted that and you can host as many servers as you like, just like ASE.

This is incorrect. You can meanwhile host private servers and you are perfectly able to connect. Even on Linux and on a VPS in a cloud. I'm playing on mine hosted on Linux just right now. Without any connection to my Steam account.

Thanks for clearing that up. Yeh there seems to be a lot of misinformation. I was told by a friend but I'll have to correct him.

Cheers.

Can you see the server in the unofficial list? Search by keywords since you will likely have issues with the browser and Steam favorites.

Azure may not be able to host Ark servers depending on how Microsoft handles their firewall settings for outbound traffic.

From some quick research on Azure for ASE, seems like it does not work; likely by Microsoft's design. Good luck getting any type of support because Microsoft will say it's a WildCard issue and WildCard will both not get back to you and say it's an Azure configuration issue.

Best of luck.

ugh, I kind of thought this would the result, I have done everything correctly. But unfortunately the server is not listed or even reachable via IP:port
