Author Topic: Server does not respond to connecting clients  (Read 3047 times)

My server hosted on a VPS randomly started ignoring client's connection attempts. There is no echo in the console that someone is trying to join and it doesn't say sending punch packets when I try and connect.

I've tried completely restoring my VPS's OS to new and disabling Window's Firewall so I don't think that's the issue.

Sounds like a port forwarding issue, though I don't know a ton about VPS's.

All of the ports should allow connections, and I don't have to set up any of port forwarding. For the past week it has worked fine on both ports that I've hosted on.

i recently started having this problem too



I've been hosting for 16 hours now, no restarts or anything. Halfway through my hosting session, people stopped joining my server (had friend confirm he couldn't join). My ports are forwarded, and are not the issue. I think it's something to do with Blockland's master server.

Same here. Yesterday, I made a non-dedicated server to try something with another player. I multicliented with a second modem, giving my client a different external IP. Said client could join but the other player couldn't A few minutes after the other player sent me a PM via forums that he couldn't connect, my second client times out and can no longer connect.

People, the master server has no bearing on whether people can connect to your server. It's just a *list of servers*. These are problems with the configuration on your own end. Please don't say "I have this problem, too"; make your own thread.

Lately it seems only certain people can join my server, and if I make a password they can never join, even with the correct password. I don't think it has anything to do with the master server though, it's probably with my ISP if anything

Looking to confirm this, I just restarted my computer. It seems restarting fixed the whole issue, I can host again! :D

Same here why can't friends join, Before then my friends could join my server for some reason now they can't.

I changed the port (and port forwarding) and it worked

I port forwarded and restarted my computer, and that didn't work. I port forwarded several times.
I also see a alot of other servers with --- ping with the same problem, so I don't think it's just me.
