    Hi. Here is another problem that i came to. I've moved my server to VPS. The server seems to start normally. VPS has static IP. All ports opened. But I cant find my server in server list in-game. What could be the problem?

    Can you connect to the server directly via the console?

    Sounds like either the server isn't started, +server.ip is incorrect in the config, or the port isn't open. Not being able to connect is an indication of any of those, not being able to see it but connecting directly would imply either a hostname issue.

    Here is the config:

    @echo off
    RustDedicated.exe -batchmode -nographics +server.ip 0.0.0.0 +server.port 28015 +server.level "Procedural Map" +server.worldsize 4000 +server.seed 21457845 +server.maxplayers 150 +server.hostname "[RU] AKRust ( X2 | KITS | MAP | HOME | ZLEVEL )" +server.identity "AKRust" +rcon.ip 0.0.0.0 +rcon.port 28016 +rcon.password ... +query_port 28017

    I have also wrote the ticket to vps provider, they told me that all ports are opened and it all should be working. That is why im confused here.

    And as i'm saying the server is starting without any errors.

    Then it would have to be a port issue most likely. ;)

    There aren't really any other reasons why you wouldn't be able to connect and not see it. I would double-check that it is started though, and see if you get any response when trying to connect to it in the logs/console. Could you could provide your .bat, logs, etc?

    Here are the logs:
    [DOUBLEPOST=1456539811][/DOUBLEPOST]Yeah guys I think it is on VPS side. As I did a Vanilla clean install and it didn't work aswell. But it is strange as they keep saying to me that all ports are opened. and IP is static.

    According to your logs it is starting fine. Also, there is no +query_port setting in Rust, it used to be +query.port but it was removed a while back.

    It shouldn't be affecting it though, so not sure what else it'd be other than something with the VPS network or iptables/firewall.

    I helped you with this today but you where running it from your pc if you are running it from a vps now you need to put the server ip of the server there and not leave it at 0.0.0.0 rcon ip is the same as the server ip also +query_port works for me so try the above first before removing it

    0.0.0.0 just binds to all available IP addresses on the host, it shouldn't have to be manually set unless you have multiple network cards/IP addresses and want it to only be listen with a single one.

    It should work either way, just saying it shouldn't be needed. ;)

    It works the same well with local as it does on a server with an external IP assigned directly, all the setting is meant/made for is to specify which IP you want the server to use. Setting it as 0.0.0.0 means use whatever you find first. Now, this may be an issue with some VPS setups where there are loopback interfaces that get found before the main adapter, which very well may be the case here.

    So it would be good to test, and if it does show after setting it to the actual IP, then that is most likely the case.

    that is the reply from vps:

    We do not run any hardware, software, or any other appliances that would 'close ports'. The reason why gameserver setup tutorials advise on "opening ports" is for users behind NAT (shared IPv4 addresses). Your VPS has a dedicated IPv4 address, so all ports are fully open and accessible by you.
