Forced-hosts With velocity
I would like to add forced hosts to my velocity server, basically inserting a specific IP takes you directly to a specific server, without going through the lobby. I tried to set it up myself but it doesn't work, what can I do?

I understood this part, the only thing I can't do is add the IP in the forced-host, I don't know what IP to put (for the IPs I use a custom domain)
I would like to set the IP of the forced-host: modname.mydomain.com
but I don't know what to put in the domain's DNS records
i didnt think you need to change anything
I set everything up like this, is this correct? (I set the DNS record for the proxy IP)
my domain is elysiansmp.eu
any idea?
can you show any DNS records that actually point the subdomain
zemax to your IP and port?
because otherwise, it looks like you just put a random domain under forced-hosts and just expected it to work with no DNS records
forced-host is NOT the domain people will use for the proxy server. You need to make a DNS record for that. For example, if you want your proxy domain to be zemax.elysiansmp.eu, you need to make an SRV record that points that subdomain zemax to the IP and port for your proxy server. When clients join the proxy server from that domain, they are sent to the backend servers in the order that you configured them under try.
Forced-hosts allow you to specify backend servers that people can connect to directly which bypasses the try order. For example, if you put the following there a player could connect to survival directly without going to the lobby first:
But you would first need to make a DNS record that points survival.elysiansmp.eu to your survival server and port.
Players would still connect through your velocity proxy server, but they would go straight to the backend server they intend to and not the lobby first.I put the DNS records both for the domain that takes me to the lobby, therefore the play.elysiansmp.eu domain, and the records for the forced-host with the IP comeback.elysiansmp.eu (also for the port). and I also put all the setups on velocity, bit it still doesent work
I don't know what to do anymore
in the dns records or somewhere did I enter something wrong?
Have you restarted the proxy server?
DNS records can take up to 48 hours to propagate
Server restarted, but still nothing seems to works
Have you properly set up velocity and configured your backend servers to accept incoming connections from the proxy server ?
Yeah, i think
I setup the proxy on paper global and put the offline mod in server.propreties
Is this what needs to be done right?
yes and restart the backend server
getsockopt means a misconfiguration of velocity OR a DNS issue
