Error connecting to server for others

[KarlisBonden 0]

Hello, I just created a new Metin2 server using @ TMP4 tutorial, but others can't join my server. I used the proxy ip method written in the FAQs, I forwarded the ports on auth, game99, first, game1,game2 channel 1. I can join the server just fine but my friends get error while connecting, the CH1 "NORM" doesn't show up, just blank "...".  I turned anti-virus, firewall off still not working. What am I doing wrong ? For local/internal IP I used the IP shown in ifconfig from FreeBSD, but when I type ipconfig in cmd it shows a different local IP, should I use this one instead ? Sorry I know this isssue has been brought up here a million times but I can't find a solution on this forum or somewhere else.  Would greatly appreciate If anyone could spare a minute to help !

This error is not related to Metin2, but your home network configuration. In your router's port forwarding you need to use your server's (FreeBSD running on Virtualbox) local ip, not your pc's local ip, so it's fine, do not change it. Since you did not attach a screenshot of your port forwarding I can't tell if it's fine or not. 

When I had enabled DMs here and in discord, there were some ppl contacting me who had a main router provided by their ISP and it was locked (they did not had password) and they used a secondary router to share wifi and they did the port forwarding there. If it's the case in you then it's worth nothing to open ports in a secondary router. You have to do it in the main too. Because when a connection coming from the internet side, it'll blocked by the main router and will not reach the second. Also the second router is probably just an access point in this scenario, not even working as a real router.

https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ Use this to check if you managed to successfully set up the port forwarding. Here you need to enter your public ip, and a port like ch1 core1.

Here is the screenshot of my router port forwarding, I do have full access to my router and I've checked on the website and all the ports are opened, no problem. I recently changed to a DDNS provided by my ISP, it's something like example.xx.xx, do I have to type it like this in the PROXY_IP section in CONF files or it doesn't matter ? I can enter both number IP and DNS on yougetsignal and both show the ports are opened. My friend tries to join the server from a different country If that helps.

If yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ says ports are working then they should be able to connect or at least sees the channels 'norm'.

I enabled DMs, send me your IP in DM and i'll try to connect to you. If you modified test/123456789 account then send me an account too.

Edit: I got your DM but I need your public ip, not your local ip. If your friend tried to connect with your local ip too then it's the problem. @ KarlisBonden

Edit2: I managed to log in with his public ip

[SOLVED] Forgot to update serverinfo.py with the public/external IP.
