Change port of DCS World when hosting

[Nu-NRG]

So, here comes the question: Can you change the port when hosting DCS World server?

I want my "server" to run on port 10300 instead of default 10308.

 

Changing it on the Public:IP line when you start up server has NO EFFECT!

 

Anyone has any ideas?

DCS World requires the port 10308 so don't change it

Razo+r seriously.. what do you mean by requires? :book:

 

Also, I WANT to change it, not that I don't want to change it. :lol:

You would have to edit your serversettings.lua in saved games/config. change the port to whatever fits your needs.

It works. One of our testing server always started on 9308 port.

 

Be sure that your port have translation for both TCP and UDP protocols.

Saw that later on yesterday but I need to test out.

So essentially I changed the port on IP:PORT line in the server configuration page and checked it against netstat and netstat reported that it's listening on port 10308.

 

Have we just found a bug?

 

If I try to preroute the port from lets say 10300 external to 10308 internal it kicks out "connection timeout" on client which is trying to connect

We run both versions of DCS World on our server, and we've always had to use 2 different addresses. We've never had any issues with doing that.

Has no effect when trying and change it in the multiplayer server setup.

 

It does have an effect when you change it in serverSettings.lua

I was wondering the same thing. This worked in the past for me but I'm unsure what the culprit is.

 

Opened 10307 both UDP and TCP forwarded to my server

Set the port in the server setup page in DCS

Made sure it was allowed through the Windows firewall

 

Server was not visible in the server list and direct connection led to timeout by clients who had connected in the past.

 

Turn off Windows firewall and router firewall and still not working but I noticed I had to change port again...

 

I will look at serverSettings.lua and try again when I get home in a couple of days.

 

I'm not sure what changed, last time I did this successfully was in the spring, there have been several updates since then and ominously I had to upgrade to Windows 10. I have been suspecting it was the Windows upgrade that caused the issue. Since the update to Windows 10 I have not been able to see my server on the master server list from within my network, however everyone else can. I can connect by direct connection to my server internal ip only. Not sure if this is related.

hello. i wonder did you sort this out. i only ask as I'm trying to host 1.5 and 2.0 but changing my ports isnt working, clients can only connect to one game. as it appears both are on the same port.

No luck so far, although I have not done as much trouble shooting as I would like, having had bigger fish to fry with figuring out why some of my scripts are not working on my server missions in 1.5.5 with update 4

Anyone know if its possible to change the port of the web interface?

[HC_Official]

if necessary create a file named autoexec.cfg

inside the config folder

put

webgui_port = 8099

in it if i want to host web interface on 8099

As far I can remember webrtc was used for VOIP before it was "merged" in the main network protocol.

The one for the Web interface should be:
 

webgui_port = 8086

To put inside autoexec.cfg
