Unjoinable Server Hosting-Can be solved!
Description:Having trouble with people joining your server?
Can't even join your server?
This can be solved with a 75% guaranteed series of steps
Before we start...
Things to be aware of/fixed:1.
[]-Is your Router/Internet working properly?
2.
[]-Is your server showing up on your LAN or Internet
3.
[]-Have you port forwarded your blockland to your router?
4.
[]-Is your blockland going through your firewall?
5.
[]-Is your port set to 28000 in "Start a Server"
Solutions:1. Go to your bottom right of your screen. It should be a little computer or like mine, 5 Bars (like AT&T's or Adidas) Make sure it is connected to the one that works for you and working fine. (I don't see why I bothered putting this since it should be working)
2. Go to join a server, find your server and look under the Ping it should be under 200 to be a healthy server but if it is --- it is either glitched or not working. Keep in mind that sometimes if it is --- it can work but you should try to fix that because I am not even 50% sure how, probably a firewall or router problem. which comes to question 3.
3. Have you port forwarded yet...Sort of a dumb question but try looking in the "Search" tab or try the link below,

4. Blockland and firewall...Its a little unknown which one it is to enable since there is like 5 of them for me. So what you do is you go to your control panel and search "Firewall" it should pop up with a tab called "allow a program through your firewall" click it and change settings. Make it so that each "Blockland" is enables and is it to [\,] for public and private.
5. Very, very, easy to fix. Go to start a server and find the server prefs. in the Port thing type 28000 if it is not set to it already. Sometimes, rarely, if you try 28100 it can work but I would not recommend it. Stick to 2800and fix it from that.
Main Problem Description:Now those where some common errors but the real problem for me was that I didn't do the Port forwarding right. I tried doing it myself and worked until today. I will not set a picture because I am not sure if it safe enough to give it away. Solution below.
Main Problem Solution:1.Go to your router, which should be 192.168.(yours)
2.Go to the "Advanced Tab" and "Port Forwarding"
3.Local ID should be 192.168.(yours)
4.Start [28000] - (end port) [28100]
5.Protocol [Both] and Enabled [\,]
**NOTE**MAKE SURE, now this is what I did wrong, THAT YOU SET THE (yours) TO THE RIGHT ONE IT COULD BE 2 NUMBERS
What I did for the note is made 3 ports to 28000-28100 and one of them works. I will leave them and so far a ping has shown up in internet.
That is pretty much everything you need to know so if there is a problem/ mistake please comment below so I can fix.
