Question
Can not join Unturned game server (stuck on loading, "server lost your connection". Not allowing inbound connections?
512 MB Memory / 20 GB Disk / AMS2 - Ubuntu 16.04.1 x64
I have set up a Unturned gameserver which runs at ports 27015, 27016, 27017. The server loads succesfully without any errors. When I try to join the server, I can see in the debug menu that the server didn’t respond in X seconds, it then disconnects me after a 30 second timer.
I have used this tool: http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ to check if my ports are open, they are not. Even though another post confirmed that all ports are opened by default as soon as a service is listening on them. Just in case I allowed the ports on Uncomplicated FireWall (UFW) both UCP and UDP.
I have been trying a lot of things to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi! It’s possible that the game server is listening on the local loopback interface only (127.0.0.1) which would make it inaccessible from outside of the Droplet. Running this command should list all processes that are listening on the three ports that you listed and also show what interfaces they are listening on:
Hi, the server is not listening on localhost. It is running on the public IPv4 address. Using “netstat -ntulp”, both ports don’t have the “LISTEN” state. I’m assuming that this is why it won’t allow incoming traffic?
p.s. After reading a little further, the server uses the 2 ports after the ones I give, so if I bind the port to “27015”, it will use ports “27016” and “27017”. The first is for the game itself, the second for Steam services.
I am facing the same problem. According to netstat the ports are being used by the application but it is not in listening mode. I have tried the same build on AWS and it worked. I also assumed that all inbound connections are permitted by default. Any directions?
I couldn’t get it to work, I gave up on it for now. If you get it working please let me know.
