1. I have just recently given myself a static IP. I have port forwarded my rust ports. I have set my server's Ip as the static Ip I created, however when I do client.connect Ip It says "Connection Failed:Invalid_Address"

    Is your server behind a router? Are you using a static LAN IP or external IP?
     
  3. My server is using a static LAN IP 192.168...

    Then you don't really need to do anything, it'd use that by default with +server.ip 0.0.0.0 or not set. You can set it to that IP, but it wouldn't matter. What matters is that the ports are accessible through your router via forwarding to that LAN IP.
     
  5. I had tried setting the IP to 0.0.0.0 but still nothing

    Nothing with what? How are you trying to connect? Did you forward the ports?
     
  7. I have forwarded the ports and set the IP to the staticIP I made

    And how are you testing it exactly?
     
  9. I have used Open Port Check Tool. When I start the server up it can start up succesfuly, It can detect port 28016 on my localIP, should I tr using that instead
     
  10. I have the same problem, ports forwarded directly, RCON works when using my external ip, plus if I try to connect to the game with the external ip "Connection Failed: Invalid_Address".
    Through the test portal sites, my port 28018 (RCON) is open, and the 28016 (GAME) is closed ....
    In my modem is enabled DMZHOST(frees all ports)
    Firewall is configured to free the ports 28018, 28016 ....

    I tried to invert the ports to confirm that the problem was not on port 28016, and really the problem is not on the port

  11. Most routers don't have DNS rewrite therefore you won't be able to use your public IP address to connect, you must use your internal IP.

    Judging by the error you have, you must have incorrectly typed the IP address, remember port 28016 is generally for RCON while 28015 is the game port. Therefore make sure you have both forwarded or just 28015 and type "connect 192.168.x.x:28015"
     
  12. I want to release external access

    Localhost works normally
     
  13. Forward ports 28015-28016, make sure you open them on your firewall aswell. +server.port 28015 +rcon.port 28016 in startup
     
  14. This has already been done, only with different ports
     
  15. Then what's your issue?
     
  16. if I try to connect to the game with the external ip "Connection Failed: Invalid_Address
     
  17. Did you put the port on the end? IP : PORT
     
  18. Yes my friend
     
  19. Does your router support DNS Rewrite? (Rewrites DNS Requests back to the internal network) This isn't usually found on home routers.
     
  20. I do not know, my friend, I'll check it out, so this is necessary?
