Spectrum routers don't have loop back NAT. Check to make sure the server can be seen using mcsrvstat.us, and connect using the local IP. https://mcsrvstat.us/

SFGooseOP•8mo ago

using the provided link it was not able to see my server. Is there other steps I gotta take since it does not have loop back NAT

Discount Milk•8mo ago

Loop back NAT is just you accessing your server from your own public IP If mcsrvstat.us can't find it. You didn't port forward properly

𝒟𝑜𝓂𝒾𝓃𝒾𝒸•8mo ago

first make sure lan ip works you trying wan in a lan range could also be an issue, as its called hairpinning make sure lan works -> server is confirmed to be running use port checker to check if port is opened

SFGooseOP•8mo ago

SFGooseOP•8mo ago

it said closed, but this is how I have it setup atm

Discount Milk•8mo ago

Doesn't look like my spectrum router page for port forwarding. Are you sure you did it right?

SFGooseOP•8mo ago

this is slightly different as I am using the spectrum business website

do you have cgnat? !cgnat

Carl-bot•8mo ago

We may have bad news for you :C

Open your router's configuration interface. Somewhere you'll see something like 'external' or 'public' IP. If your external IP is in one of the following ranges, you're basically screwed as long as portforwards go: - 10.0.0.0/8 - 172.16.0.0/20 - 192.168.0.0/16 - 100.64.0.0/10 - any IPv6 address/range - This shouldn't be a problem, but Minecraft's IPv6 support is still rather quirky. You're at your own but we're happy if you share your experience. You should ask your ISP for a public and IPv4 address (but this may cost you money). NB: your internal IP should and most probably will be in one of the first three ranges, don't mix them up

or the other way check the wan ip of your router

𝒟𝑜𝓂𝒾𝓃𝒾𝒸•8mo ago

then check what is your public ip using one of these https://www.whatismyip.com/

WhatIsMyIP.com®

What Is My IP?

Check the IP address assigned to your device. Show my IP city, state, and country. What Is An IP Address? IPv4, IPv6, public IP explained.

𝒟𝑜𝓂𝒾𝓃𝒾𝒸•8mo ago

if they dont match, cgnat

SFGooseOP•8mo ago

Following this

"Log into your router and look for its WAN/Internet IP address. If it's any of the following, then your router doesn't have a public IP address.

192.168.x.x

10.x.x.x

172.16.x.x through 172.31.x.x

100.64.x.x through 100.127.x.x"

"Log into your router and look for its WAN/Internet IP address. If it's any of the following, then your router doesn't have a public IP address.

192.168.x.x

10.x.x.x

172.16.x.x through 172.31.x.x

100.64.x.x through 100.127.x.x"

I believe I do have a public IP

𝒟𝑜𝓂𝒾𝓃𝒾𝒸•8mo ago

use this if the ip on here matches your wan ip in router, then you should be good if not, cgnat

SFGooseOP•8mo ago

wan IP would be the default gateway when doing ipconfig in command prompt right

𝒟𝑜𝓂𝒾𝓃𝒾𝒸•8mo ago

no default gateway is the lan ip

𝒟𝑜𝓂𝒾𝓃𝒾𝒸•8mo ago

everything in ipconfig is local

SFGooseOP•8mo ago

AI has hindered this process lmao I trust you

𝒟𝑜𝓂𝒾𝓃𝒾𝒸•8mo ago

bullshit i dont own a spectrum router, but check if you have an interfaces tab if so, then you can likely find it under that

𝒟𝑜𝓂𝒾𝓃𝒾𝒸•8mo ago

in my case:

𝒟𝑜𝓂𝒾𝓃𝒾𝒸•8mo ago

@SFGoose just screenshot your router's management page

SFGooseOP•8mo ago

𝒟𝑜𝓂𝒾𝓃𝒾𝒸•8mo ago

okay now what does it say in whatsmyip.com you should be good tho i dont think thats a cgnat range]

𝒟𝑜𝓂𝒾𝓃𝒾𝒸•8mo ago

@SFGoose looks good to me

𝒟𝑜𝓂𝒾𝓃𝒾𝒸•8mo ago

SFGooseOP•8mo ago

I called spectrum to confirm, but they stated WAN IP: 104.136.170.74 while the desktop hosting it is 192.168.1.179

𝒟𝑜𝓂𝒾𝓃𝒾𝒸•8mo ago

mind if I join your server to test it?

SFGooseOP•8mo ago

go for it I'm also horrible with the domain setup but it's supposed to also connect from mc.unicornacopia.net

𝒟𝑜𝓂𝒾𝓃𝒾𝒸•8mo ago

okay gimme a sec to start the client which version?

SFGooseOP•8mo ago

1.20.1

𝒟𝑜𝓂𝒾𝓃𝒾𝒸•8mo ago

niche version but okay ill just launch with 1.21 and see if minecraft can ping it

SFGooseOP•8mo ago

tbh I want the latest but I just wanted to get it up and running first should I be using the 192.168.1.179 address to join were you able to get in

𝒟𝑜𝓂𝒾𝓃𝒾𝒸•8mo ago

sorry, went out to get some food i dont think your dns record propagated yet

SFGooseOP•8mo ago

I also probs did that one wrong but did the IP itself work

𝒟𝑜𝓂𝒾𝓃𝒾𝒸•8mo ago

ill try it after i get home

SFGooseOP•8mo ago

I think this is resolved and connectable by mc.unicornacopia.net So this is connectable now, but can't get it to connect beyond the proxy server and just gives an error, sends back to menu

Discount Milk•8mo ago

Brb reading minds to figure out what the error is

this is very valid lmao

Discount Milk•8mo ago

Why are you putting your public IP into velocity If it's on the same network use the local IP

SFGooseOP•8mo ago

Would that still work for people connecting outside the network?

Discount Milk•8mo ago

Yes, because velocity is still listening to incoming connections from the outside

I believe I tried that right, the original IP is what I have the domain pointing to

Discount Milk•8mo ago

That IP isn't right

SFGooseOP•8mo ago

this is such a different experience than hosting with a provider lmao thank you for your patience

SFGooseOP•8mo ago

This is what shows in my panel

SFGooseOP•8mo ago

if I do 0.0.0.0 I get the same error

Discount Milk•8mo ago

Are you using pterodactyl? Idk what panel that is

SFGooseOP•8mo ago

This is AMP, a windows 10 alternative to pterodactyl

Discount Milk•8mo ago

Ah, amp. AMP has a ton of docs on how to set everything up, have you consulted the docs?

SFGooseOP•8mo ago

nothing in depth on velocity. Should I change this and then set that in the velocity.toml?

SFGooseOP•8mo ago

Nevermind, this fixed it I'm goofy thank you so much
