UPnP doesn't always work, either UPnP support somehow got turned off on your router or for weird reasons I do not know yet, it still sometimes doesn't work even if your router has UPnP support on. I consider UPnP finicky. If you want a server that always work, I recommend port forwarding Blockland under the default port of 28000. Follow a port forward tutorial on YouTube or search for one on the Blockland forums. After you port forwarded Blockland, check mark Disable UPnP and host your server. If people can join, you port forwarded correctly, if people still can't join, you port forwarded wrong and you need to go back to the tutorials and see what you did wrong and fix it. If you don't want to port forward Blockland for any kind of reason and still want to use UPnP, then go to your router's homepage and keep searching through your router's settings pages until you find a UPnP on or off check mark or switch. Then make sure UPnP is on the router. Now try hosting your server, if it works, you fixed the problem. If it still doesn't work, then UPnP is not working for you for some reason I don't understand yet. Reply back if you have any questions or if you need help understanding anything. |
