Page 63 - Firewall->Virtual Servers

• Log into your router
• Open the virtual servers section under Firewall
• Click enable
• Put a name (Minetest) in Description
• Put the inbound port as the one your server is running (30000 by default)
• Type: UDP
• Add the internal IP of the computer running the server
• Put the private port as the one your server is running (30000 by default)
  • Apparently you can have a different port on your external connection than your server port, but let's not confuse things.
• Apply Changes

You will need to make sure that any firewall on the computer hosting the world also allows port 30000 to pass through, else it will fail. After you've done all of the above, start the server and have someone connect to your internet address.

If that doesn't work, the Remobo/Hamachi VPN users will post instructions on how to do it that way. Good luck.

I can't believe they have Active Worlds as the drop down example in the manual above. That hit major popularity back in 1997 as a community based virtual reality building game (this was Second Life before there was Second Life) and here we are 15 years later still playing with blocks.... ;-)

[Calinou]

Edited your post - Minetest uses UDP, not TCP. This is very important, you need to set the correct one.

Thank you Calinou. I wasn't entirely sure about that and unable to test on the current machine.

[mauvebic]

[Jordach]

I c an try to join, version please?

[Jordach]

Minetest keeps on going, Connecting to Server..

[Jordach]

Mt wont connect. IP is real.

[mauvebic]

Thats damn peculiar. Must be something about arch linux. Port forwarding seems to work though :S

[RabbiBob]

Go here (where the end of the IP is your open port) and it will tell you if your port is open.

Do you have a firewall running on the distro itself?

[mauvebic]

it gave me:
Stealth Unknown Protocol for this port
Unknown Application for this port

i didn't install any firewalls on arch

[mauvebic]

Do iptables have something to do w/ it? im on protocol 9 btw

[RabbiBob]

Stealth = port isn't open all the way through.

Iptables is a firewall and is probably what needs to be set up to allow the port through to the server:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Iptables

Seems like you are close, just the last hurdle.

[mauvebic]

i went into /etc/sysctl.conf and put:

Code: Select all

net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
net.ipv6.conf.default.forwarding=1
net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1

and i added iptables to daemons. But i still get "Stealth" :-S

I have to do a quick run to the grocery store, ill check back in 40 minutes and give it another shot :-)

[mauvebic]

i disable the modem's firewall and now i get "Closed" for that port. ive set the modem to portforward to the w/less network


heres what the settings look like:

[mauvebic]

When i setup DMZ on the router it gives me 'Public IP 192.168.1.5 -> private IP 192.168.2.2'
I have a feeling my computers default route should be 192.168.1.5

[RabbiBob]

Private IP address s/b the server's internal address. I believe that is 192.168.1.5 in your example.

[Jordach]

Go here to get your "public" IP: whatismyip.com

Then, using the IP in big letters. Post it here so we can test, also, give Minetest version numbers, so we can connect to you, without client guessing.
