Why all UDP port 7777, 7778, 7779,7780 fails

[APoCaLyPSE666NoW]

I tried to create my own dedicated server.

I can join my server using "game from internet" in-game and play it. But none of my friends can join it.

I installed official launcher/manager (FM) from Funcom.

This manager said all time all ports like 7777 to 7780 are in red status that mean unreachable from internet. And i don't know why.

Router is configured to allow these ports like 27015 or 27016 (status green with FM) and 7777 to 7780 (status red with FM).

Bidefender firefall is configured to allow ports 777ish and 2701ish

So why my friend can't join dedicated server ?

Help plz.

There are many many servers using the dedicated server launcher daily. The issue is with your network. Either your setup is incorrect or your IPS does not allow port forwarding.

I'am testing with another dedicated server with other game to be sure about that.

All the info you need is Multigun's post including a link to the guide for the launcher. He knows what he is talking about, he uses the dedicated launcher himself to run a server where we can test his mods.

Are you using the correct IP in your routers port forwarding options? on the PC your server is running on open cmd, then type ipconfig and write down the IPv4 address, normally it will be 192.168.0.## (## being specific to your PC connection to your router).

for my server I open 27015-27030 (steam query ports), 7777-7779 (UE4 dedicated server ports) and use UDP/TCP protocol.

fowarding from internal IP is correct i checked with ipconfig

It sounds like something is blocking your ports, AV or ISP (ISP's don't usually block the server ports though), did you try temporarily disabling bitdefender to see if that is the issue.

PS: I also use bitdefender and I didn't think I had to do anything with it, it just worked if I remember rightly, although I could be mistaken as it was a while ago I configured mine.

I finally found my problem myself.

My router accept only some ports ranges about ports fowarding.
Changing default server game port by one acceptable by my router solved my problem.
No need to create specific rules with Firewall.
All server run fine now.

Thanx for suggestions all but never forget that :

It's not because you found solution for yourself it will be miracle solution for everyone.

I'am pretty sure all is bugged about dedicated server.

It's not bugged. I gave you the answers and advice you needed, which you ignored.

Set up Multihome, correctly open your router firewall ports, correctly set the ports.

I try to ignore nobody here. And if something don't convince me, i try too even if i know in advance it won't be solution.

And because my mind isn't locked to your suggestion you tried to convince me by force, i continued investigation and found problem.

I post here in case it can be helping for you in future.
