Forwarding UDP
explodersname opened this issue · comments
Hello, let me give you the rundown. I am trying to forward a bedrock server from my pc at home to my computer so i can play on it from other places. Bedrock uses UDP on port 19132. I would like to know how to forward my bedrock server to my computer. I have SSF binaries downloaded for my PC at home to my laptop. I am using the following command on my Computer at home (server):
ssfd -p 19132
and the command on my laptop (client):
ssf -p 19132 (ip address of my home network)
I would think this would work but it doesnt. My laptop says "Server unreachable" after a few seconds of trying to connect.
Is there some other steps I need to take before doing this or am I using a wrong command? Or am I using the completely wrong software to do this?
I have also tried the client side command:
ssf -V (ip):19132:127.0.0.1:19132 -p 19132 (ip)
Bedrock usually won't let you join via localhost, but since you're using the ssf I'm not sure what's going on
Thanks for the suggestion @p0t4t0sandwich - what worked for me was changing the 127.0.0.1 part to the actual local IP of my computer.
On a cloud Ubuntu server, I ran: ./ssfd -g
On my PC (Ubuntu via WSL2 on Windows 10), I ran: ./ssf -g -V cloudserverip:19132:mylanip:19132 cloudserverip
I couldn't believe it when I was able to connect to my local BDS through my phone on data! (You do have to enable this in the phone app settings - by default multiplayer is wifi only.)
You might also want to try the PowerShell commands from the wiki. I did these a long time ago, as I run BDS and play on the same PC: https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Bedrock_Dedicated_Server#Connection
Would someone be able to explain why ssf -V cloudserverlocalip:27015:localip:27015 -p 10000 cloudserverpublicip results in an unreachable connection from windows 10 client side as per this guide?: https://medium.com/@st.navybloo1/how-to-port-forward-from-a-university-network-b71c8f07a1c5
