pshock13 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I used the 7DaystoDie Dedicated Server tool on steam and have a server running that I can connect to on my local network. I'm trying to connect to the server from outside the network and have friends from different states connect as well. I have port 26900 forwarded to my computer (which also has a static IP address assigned by my router). I also have the web console and telnet enabled in the serverconfig.xml as well as also having those ports (8080 & 8081) forwarded to my computer. Any time myself or a friend tries to connect to the server using my external IP address and port 26900 they are met with the message "Could not receive server info." I'm not sure what I'm missing as I also have a separate computer running ubuntu that I'm able to SSH into just fine from outside my network.

Star69 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 The stickied topic at the top of the forum lists all the ports you need to forward: https://community.7daystodie.com/topic/3998-support-faq-information-and-common-solutions/ Be sure to use an online port checker to confirm that the ports are actually open. Sometimes ports don’t open as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need TCP 26900 and UDP 26900-26903. Don't expose console/telnet unless they are required for an external server manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah so I was looking at some help page on steam that didn't have the UDP ports listed. But yeah, adding those ports to my router solved the issue, and I've closed 8080-8081 as I was only using it for testing.
