Thanks Star69, and Meganoth!
@Star69
I thought it was clean too, so I am leaning towards the port issue.
@Meganoth
I am in EST, and you can see by the timestamps it's been up all day. This morning it was in the same condition. I have tried about 10 times since this morning, both finding it in the public list and by entering the IP address and port. That log file was just downloaded and then copied up to pastebin (and redacted) just before I hit submit on that reply.
I tried several times with the 7d2d client, both direct IP with port number, and by finding it on the public list. When I do either it will ask for the password, then time out with the error message: "Connection to server failed: Could not retrieve server ID".
I am fairly sure that the port numbers just aren't open. That said, when I sampled about 8 servers to test their ports open using an online port testing tool, most of them had about two ports in the series open, some had one. It might be an issue with the online tool. It's hard to get feedback on a UDP port since they won't start a handshake.
And after filing a ticket with the server people, and then updating Wireshark so I can properly diagnose a potential network problem, firing up wireshark, then starting the game it works...
So likely it was the port issue, and my server provider derped, then corrected it.
I'll keep this open for a slight bit longer, but I think I am good now.
