Windows VPS Unity Problem

Unity Engine
1

Hi, we have a standalone .exe that runs -batchmode with nographics that once ran, hosts a game for other to connect to in our web-player on our site. Having ran this exe on my local computer (as well as few other friends computers) I can see the game shows up (out on the web-player on our site). Myself and others can also connect to the game as well.

However, when I connect to our VPS via remote desktop and launch the exe, we can never see it show up out in our sites web-player, as if the exe is getting no access to the internet or something while being ran on the server.

I am very noob to Windows servers (been working with Linux Apache servers for years now) and I have a feeling its not as simple as uploading the exe and launching it to make the server host a game for us.

Any advice or direction anyone can point me in would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

sounds like you forgot to configure the windows server firewall with corresponding rules for portforwarding

check the firewall in the control center and add an inbound rule for your port you use on udp :slight_smile:

you might also have to contact the VPS hoster to open up the port on the router in case they locked something (rare but can happen and its important to keep that in mind)
