healerf18 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Hello, I am trying to host DCS OpenBeta Server on Win Server 2016. I have the TCP/UDP ports 10308 and 8088 opened and the app is enabled in the Firewall. However when I try to access via the DCS Gameservers website, I see the server, but it says it's offline. For the life of me I can't figure out how to open the ports. I've even tried disabling the firewall, but no joy. Any thoughts or tutorials? Thank you!!
Wood Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Are you running behind a router. I run my servers on Win Server 2008. Check that the ports are pointing to the right Server IPv4. Cheers Wood Windows 10, Intel i7-6700 CPU @3.40GHz, 32GB ram , GTX 4060Ti
healerf18 Posted October 21, 2020 Author Posted October 21, 2020 Thanks for the reply. The dumb thing is that I can run this from my home PC no problem - firewall, router, etc. all properly set, but I only have one computer and can't run the server and fly at the same time. I'm trying to host it on Amazon Web Services. They have a firewall of course, but I have everything set identical to a friend, but still no joy. The difference is that he's running it from Win10 and I'm on Win Server 2016 (and I don't have the expertise to load Win 10 to the cloud.)
316HornetBall Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 In AWS the Windows Firewall needs to be configured (or disabled completely) as well as rules in the respective security group for the instance.
Noisy Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 Just to expand on 316HornetBall's response, I've recently put together a guide to running DCS on AWS https://ready-room.net/blog/2020-12-01-host-a-dcs-server-in-aws/ https://ready-room.net DCS cloud mission hosting.
