Connect Box UPC: CoD Game Server Port Forwarding (UDP 20500-20510, TCP/UDP 28960-28970) & DMZ Setup

So.

I reset the router to factory settings, then gave it 3 deep resets in a row (disconnecting the cable) just to be sure. Then the settings:

UPnP disabled
DMZ disabled
DHCP assigned to the MAC from the PC at the address 192.168.0.10
The card in the PC is rigidly set to 192.168.0.10/255.255.255.0
DNS set according to pages from UPC (although it is not recommended) on 62.179.1.60/61 - https://pytania.upc.pl/?q=fact_1006949

Ports redirected on Arris - separately UDP 20500-20510, UDP 28960-28970 and TCP 28960-28970. I also tried to set lower ports, i.e. 2880-2890 (unfortunately UDP 20500-20510 must stay, I have no influence on them), but the situation was the same ... I also tried to start the server locally - after starting I can get to it via local IP from the same PC on which it is standing, no longer external, the same from another computer on a different network.

Of course, after each change on Arris, a deep restart with the disconnection of the cable.
After checking everything and another call to UPC, they checked redirects on their side - they see no problems, but they will not configure anything because they cannot, because it is on the private side. Officially, I can only get information from them that it is possible, it is possible, they do not forbid, any ports except those mentioned above do not block, IP is public. But they will not apply their hands to the settings themselves ;)

I have no more ideas ... I'm waiting for yours

Can you ping your public IP address in UPC from a computer connected to another internet connection?
When you disconnect your modem, the ping should stop coming.

I wrote to you that you will not connect to an external IP while on the same network without Hairpin NAT.
And tell me what pc is this on another network? Or just a different subnet or VLAN? Does anyone from the end of Poland try and can't?

I know that I will not connect, I checked all the options so that someone would not ask immediately. Another device is a laptop connected to the mobile Internet, once to Play and the second time to Plus.

I'll check in soon, let go of the ping from work :)

@Edit: I checked, it pings correctly.

Is the server computer turned on?

Use some website to check for open ports and see if anything is open.


Do you have external access to your modem configuration?

Rather not, at least in the settings I do not see the option to grant remote access, and on port 80 it also does not connect me to the panel.

Yes

I am using https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/
But here I have a small eclipse, I use the "netstat -a" command on the server to list the ports, but it does not connect me to any selected one (shows that it is closed). How do I find some reliable port that should show the actual status? Must be in listening mode? All of mine are currently connected (busy).

@ aramis93
There is no option that it is impossible to log into the giga box from outside after IP.

What port? Because, as I say, ping goes through, but in the browser I am not connected to the panel: /

@ aramis93
From what I remember port 8080.
Of course, you connect from outside the UPC network?
The point is that it has to be a different internet than UPC.

I don't know exactly what the Giga Box is, but there should be Administrator Tools / Remote Access / Enable-Disable

Of course, and on this port I am not connected to an external IP.
However, I just searched the entire Arris configuration remotely, and I don't see any option to enable remote access: /

Ping, by default, is on and responds.

There is nothing like this ...



I do not know if they will be useful, but since I am already in them, I am throwing in information:

Does the Giga Box work in modem or router mode?

Router.

31.xx is you sure external IP?
At UPC, external starts at 89

31.178.xx is probably the addressing once granted to Aster City.

Router.

When you run the server on your computer, do you have to give it its own IP address and port number? Maybe the port number alone is enough?

If I don't manually point it to an IP, it starts by default on localhost: 28960

And that's how it is supposed to start.
Try scanning port 28960 now.

I will answer graphically :D

28960 is the TCP port on which this server is listening?

Yes, it should, but now I check and although it shows in the logs that it works, even locally I cannot connect to it through the game client ... I have to check what is going on there, but this is when I get home. I just point out that I rummaged it all over the weekend, but it worked before that ;)

At home, I will check locally, how it works, I will check externally, if the meatball continues, we will continue.
