Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/2855

Everything seems to be working except I can't connect to the server (Medal Of Honor Allied Assault). The port is closed from outside but I have a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 installation and there is no UFW.

I'm not sure but I think it has something to do with ports.

I created a Ubuntu 16.04 server on DigitalOcean and set ip=""
I tried both IP's - internal and external

MOHAA always says "Connection timed out"

https://openport.net/udp-port-checker/ says the connection is closed.

I tried multiple ports 12203,12205,11111 etc.

After every try, I, of course, restarted the server.

Maybe, this could be documented. Do you know the reason?

Hello,

I assume this is a local server?
You first need to make sure the process actually listens to anything before checking ports opening. By the way, what you are looking for is actually port forwarding from the router if running a local server.

This "Allowed remote tool IP: 127.0.0.1" caught my attention: Are you listening to an actual interface IP? If not, make sure you are.

Please check this out:
https://docs.linuxgsm.com/support/troubleshooting#connectivity-issues
Also check this out to clarify some of the points you talked about: https://docs.linuxgsm.com/configuration/ports

Regarding the details provided, this is most likely not an issue with LinuxGSM itself, therefore this issue should be discussed on user support channels such as Discord first and this issue will be closed. Please, re-open if you thing this is an actual LinuxGSM bug.
