Playit gg Connection reset issue
Since the official MC reddit isn't going to offer help. I hope you guys have a solution.
Does anyone run playit for their servers? If so, do you run into the same issue with connection reset error? Because this is very much a real issue even for me for being in the USA, server being hosted (by me) in the USA, and the routing is USA. Idk why most players are having issues connecting.

Please check your server log for errors from your plugins.
If you need further help understanding the errors, please send us the whole log file.
Where can I find the server log?
Logs are stored in
<server_directory>/logs/. Search for a file explorer in your server's management interface and navigate to that directory. Once you've opened that up, search for the latest.log file. Some providers have a separate page for logs and may hide the "logs" folder.
On Aternos:
β’ Go to https://aternos.org/log/.
On Minehut and server.pro:
β’ Go to the "files" tab in the left menu.
β’ Navigate to the root directory of your server.
β’ From there navigate to /logs/latest.log.
What should I do with the log?
β’ First of all, read it! I mean, that's what you do all the time when you run a server, isn't it? Try to locate any errors that have anything to do with the issue you are facing.
β’ If you got the latest.log file or created a .txt file with the necessary errors you can upload these directly to the channel, but we prefer if you upload them to https://mclo.gs/.
β’ If you have trouble downloading the log file, copy/paste the text to a paste service (like mclogs). Copy the link that it gives you and send it to us. (Don't worry, McLogs hides your users' IPs.)Admincraft Canned Responses
Sadly I can't even get ahold of my logs because i have no access to my server rn. It is shut off by my mom at my house
I will get it as soon as I can but i can't confirm anything
donβt use playit.gg. when you do, you are opening a tunnel into your network
serious security risk
i can hacker your house :shock:
What can I do then? Besides having to buy a ip from my isp
a public ip is like 5 bucks dude
at least for my isp
someone told me some other method on how to prevent it but i lowkey forgot
something along the lines of duckdns or something
but i would need a smarter user in this glorious discord server to confirm
cringe
actually a public ip is more likely to get hacked compared to using playit
Not entirely
use port forwarding :ShockedBroFrFr:
nuh uh im epic hackerman i have kali linux
Well, should I drop playit all together or no?
its advisable to try your pub ip if possible
Gotcha. Since i have my own domain, makes it easy
from my experience using playit, it relies on IPv6 addresses. As a result, anyone without an IPv6 address won't be able to join the server.
"Number of dedicated IPv6 addresses
If you're on a IPv6 network, this give you a ton of power. You can use any or all of your 65,000+ public ports on this IP." Would be weird to say "if youre on a ipv6 network" if that was the case
