Custom master server, linux headless build

Unity Engine
1

Hey!

So I am new to networking and decided to use new UNET system but I am having difficulties establishing connection. So here’s what I did:

I have separate headless linux build as my dedicated server, which is hosted on my cloud server on OPENED port 3000.

I have client which connects to my server via domain name, or IP (both don’t work), on port 3000. It starts connecting but then after a while of waiting I get timeout…

Both server and client are verified, and work in localhost, also I managed to host on windows (with router forwarded ports) and friend was able to join from his house without a problem. So now I am wondering what can be possibly wrong here? Or maybe I have not opened my ports on cloud server correctly? (I have tested with simple nodejs server and it was okay)…Please some advices on what can I do…Thanks!

Did you find a solution for this ?

@rastko96 Make sure that your network firewall on your server allows port 3000, if you are hosting from home this will be on your router; if not this will be on your host provider user interface. Also make sure your IP tables on your linux server allows the port as well, this tutorial is for Forge but if you skip the top and scroll down to the bottom around where the header “Make File Executable” is, you will see what is needed to make a connection to the server (this part of the tutorial is generic and will work with any networking system using Linux *specifically Ubuntu).
