(stupid) Question on how ports work with DNS
Hi guys, new-ish to web hosting.
I have a Minecraft server hosted at
sub.example.com using an A record to connect to the server's IP. It listens at 25565, which is the Minecraft client's default IP, and it works fine.
However, while trying to use the BlueMap plugin, it requires you to connect to a specific port at the same IP of the server. I need to therefore redirect to x.x.x.x:8100 (default port, can be changed) from (desirably) the same sub.example.com when connecting via a web browser (without appending a port) or if that's impossible sub2.example.com, and I have no idea how to go about doing this. Attempted to use a SRV record in various ways (I had seen something saying to append _minecraft._tcp on it, no idea if this is the correct thing for web?) and attempted to figure out origin rules but it either comes up as unsecure or unreachable.
Help is appreciated.1 Reply
I also can't connect to sub.example.com:8100 which I had assumed was valid
And yes, I confirmed that x.x.x.x:8100 is functional
Okay, it looks like I'm missing a service name, what do I need to put for web browser?
