Solved Friends can't join my server (port was closed)

Oxide being installed wouldn't change that. Unless you physically opened that port at one point, it isn't open.

 

Oxide has nothing to do with the networking for Rust, we don't even touch any of that. The networking and process between Rust is all handled by it. Ports have to be open for people outside of your network to connect, that's how routers and networking works. Rust requires this, every other game server requires this. If a port isn't open, nothing can communicate with that server from outside of your network.

If you can connect and play from inside your network but nobody outside of your network can, that's a port issue.

 

Could you show that with more context please?

 

What is the "VOIP" Interface?

 

You'd likely want Internet, not VoIP. Rust uses UDP for the traffic, so at least that needs to be open. TCP is used by other things such as Rust:IO.

Is your server online right now? If so, which port?

 

Go ahead and turn it on. Make sure port 25565 is set in the router and in the .bat you use to start the server. Also make sure that the server responds to commands after starting it up.

 

What does your current .bat file look like?

 

Do you know what model your router is?

 

I don't see the port 25565 open on the router or at least it's not responding. Did you change any of the port forwarding after having installed Oxide?
