Question Can't get port forwarding to work

[Matan8465]

Hello I've tried to port forward the port 27015 for my csgo server but it does not work...

I have the Sagemcom f@st 5670 Router.



-I have a static Ip

-I checked in cmd with the command netstat -a and saw that the port is listening

-I've tried couple of ranges to port forward for the server

-I called the ISP for help and there is no block on the ports

-I've tried to activate dmz

-I've tried to restart the router after port forwarding

-I created rules for the ports in windows firewall


This is not the first time I am using port forwarding for my csgo servers but with this new router I really got frustrated. I will appreciate any help to fix that problem.

The port that I created:
https://prnt.sc/4cNJ975xqqCl

You have a static IP on what? The PC or the public IP on the router ?
Have you verified that you have a public IP address by comparing the WAN address of the router to https://whatsmyip.com/ ?

Hello, I've a static ip on the pc. I didnt verify the public ip address, how can i check the wan address?

if router doesnt says its wan ip, then check your current ip with https://whatsmyip.com/
type it somewhere, then reboot your modem and check https://whatsmyip.com/ again, see if ip changed

if it changes, then you will need to setup domain name instead of ip for your server

 

[Matan8465]

I just rebooted the modem and the ip did changed...

You look at the status pages in the router. It will display the WAN address. If the WAN address doesn't match your public IP address, then you can't port forward.

Can you please see the screenshot maybe it has other name: https://prnt.sc/LNW8t0TzfK_k

 

[kerberos_20]

he could port forward with host name and dynamic dns
try with no-ip it should be free
basicly you will be running domain client which will be updating your current IP on your domain
then poeople tryin to play on your server wont need to know your IP, theyl just use domain adress instead of ip adress

Do I need to change the 27015 port if im using the no-ip website?

port can be rerouted to anything you like for no-ip client, for game server port,it doesnt matter which one you use

 

[Matan8465]

Thanks anyways for the help, It does not work for my friends to join the server, port is closed and doesnt work.

does it work here if you type in domain name and port?

 

[Matan8465]

nope, it didnt work, its says timed out

 

[kerberos_20]

you need to have two ports opened
one for no-ip client
2nd for game server

no-ip client port is opened? without it your domain name wont know your ip adress

Your router is tough to find good manuals or screenshots.

My guess is look at the field that says "public IP". Check that this IP is the same as whatsmyip. Your other option is to just look around for IP addresses. Your lan is likely 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. You want to find a different IP. That should be the IP the ISP is assigning to your router.
The key here is private IP are generally 192.168.x.x. 10.x.x.x or 100.?.x.x or 172.1x.x.x

You are getting ahead of yourself. DYNDNS is used when you have a public IP and it changes but if you are being given private IP rather than public you can't use dyndns either.

 

[Matan8465]

What i've found is what you mentioned: 192.168.x.x. 10.x.x.x or 100.?.x.x or 172.1x.x.x , The only thing that include public starting with 100 and its the public Ipv4 address...

 

[Matan8465]

So because I can't find and compare the public ip address and the wan address of the router that what causing ports not to work and be open?

Without a public IP address, you can't port forward. There is another router between the internet and your router. That router is blocking you.

 

[bill001g]

If you have a ip address assigned to the wan of your router that starts with 100. It is highly likely that is a special form of private IP that is designed for ISP to use. They do this because IPv4 addresses are in short supply and most users do not need one.

Your only option is to contact your ISP and see if they will assign you a public IP. Some ISP will do it just for asking other want a extra monthly fee and some do not offer the service at all.

As stated above the public IP you see on whatsmyip is assigned to another router in the ISP network. You would have to put port forwarding rules in that router which of course you can't.
