I have a question about unofficial server ports.

[朝比奈 · 凉风]

I want to ask about opening server ports, such as the default ports 7777 or 7779, or 27015 and 27017. These are all second searches, and they are all second searches in unofficial games or steam right-click servers. But open a multi-port server, and open several or a dozen interworking. I don't know which ports to use, such as setting 27011 or 7771. I can't find them in the unofficial or steam server. I have to manually add ip and ports to the steam server.

Why can I find the server in my local area network when I use ports 7777 and 27015? But you can't search using other ports? Which ports should I use? I need more than a dozen ports.

Use whatever ports you want to that are not already being used by applications on your server.

I don't know how to do it

you need to forward 3 ports on steam:

game port (default: 7777)
peer port (deafault: gameport + 1, which means 7778 by default)
qyery port (default: 27015)

all these 3 ports are UDP

Optional RCON port is TCP and by default is 27020

you can read more about here: https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup

note that your must not be under cgnat and if you wanna join your own server your router must support loopback (if it doesn't you will not be able to join it. you can try to install the virtual loopback adapter but it may not work so good).

I know, but I mean, if I have to open multiple servers, how many ports should I set for other servers

As allesio just stated... 3 ports are required for an ark server.

Therefore you need 3 ports per server. And as I said in my earlier message... What those port numbers actually are is largely up to you as long as they are not already in use.

Use any ports you want between 0 and 65535 that are not already in use.
server 1 7777 (7778) and 27015
Server 2 7780 (7781) and 28015
Server 3 7782 (7783) and 29015

Those are the ones that I use.
