Ubuntu server cant connect to

Hello. I have made my rust with oxide server using ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I go to F1 and type client.connect 0.0.0.0:28015 [Just to let you know the zeros are there so you don't know my machine ip]

I have my rcon password setup and everything. not sure why this isn't working the server says its online.

 

Have you forwarded/opened ports?

 

You need to open some ports, either on the machine itself (iptables) or a control panel of your provider running a firewall on network level

 

Do I need to port forward on a machine like that?
[DOUBLEPOST=1529591266][/DOUBLEPOST]If so How do you it? I'm kinda new to this stuff
[DOUBLEPOST=1529591627][/DOUBLEPOST]I'm also using Rcon tool RCON:IO and I can connect to it fine

 

Maybe TCP is not being blocked, but UDP is. Where do you host the server?

Gameserver (standard 28015) is UDP
Rcon (standard 28016) is TCP

Hello? Can I please have help?

 

Are you hosting from your home PC or renting a host?

 

Renting one
[DOUBLEPOST=1529611915][/DOUBLEPOST]I just switched the ports around for Rcon to be 28015 and game to be 28016 still does not work to join. But I can still use the rcon thing

 

You need to talk to your host they seem to be blocking it

 

28105 works on rcon though

 

28016 is being blocked and is the correct rcon port you need to talk to your support

 

but 28016 also works for rcon I just cant connect to the server

 

You still need to talk to support there is nothing anyone here can do

 

I already did. they said. Hello sir ports are not UDP/TCP specific, while you can block certain protocols on ports, they are not specified to a protocol.

 

What host are you with

You don't need to open ports on Ubuntu, by default the firewall is off. It's most likely NFO blocking the port.

 

How would I unblock the NFO port then?
