uMod - Players can't join my server - Rust

Posted 5 years ago

So I made my first Rust server for me and my friends to have like a 2v2. I have already port forwarded my router and opened a port on my firewall, but they still can't join.
If you know how to fix this please help me.

How are your friends trying to join? Could you provide a screenshot of your forward setup?

Here is the screenshot of my port forward setup.

The forwaring looks fine. Do you see anything in the server console when they try to connect, and how are they trying to connect?

Try disabling it temporarily to see if that is what is preventing your friends from joining.

Keep in mind that if your pc endpoint is located behind provider's NAT, it might be unreachable from the web. If that is the case, the only way to let players connect will be either talking to your ISP support and requesting a straight IP from them (might be paid service), or using some tunneling software such as Hamachi.
