Solution for c9 Behind Router / Dynamic

[whyt3boi]

If you read the guide on how to run a server with a Dynamic IP or behind a router then you most likely ran into the issue with the c9 from a wan connection outside your Ip.

The issue seems to be the server programs and files not being able to pass your router when a connection comes in. No matter what ports you forward or what exceptions you add anywhere.

Our solution was this.

If your internet is set up like this

Modem > Router > Computer / Wireless PC's



99.99999% of the Modems out there have a single Ether net port

We are going to bypass the router.

Like this




What does a switch do ?

A switch is a box that will allow you to expand the amount of ethernet ports you have. Normally they are used with routers to allow more pc's. Or with big businesses, schools to allow more connections. They come in all kinds and allow many extra ports.

This one is an example. Like I said you can get them ranging from 4/8/20+ Ports.



You can pick these up at any local store that carries computer equipment.

What your going to do is bypass the router with your machine(s). By connecting them directly to the switch.

So the setup will be.

Modem > Switch > Pc1/Pc2/Router > Wireless Pc's (Plugged into router)

Pc1/Pc2 will be the PC(s) that have the server running on.

*PLEASE REMEMBER THIS*

1. Running computers directly connected to the modem through a switch that bypass the router will result in no router firewall or security.

2. Doing this will assign the server machine(s) a new IP. This will most likely be a static ip now.

3. Referring to #1. Please run a firewall through your machines connected to the switch and not router. This will add an extra layer of security. Also run windows firewall as an extra layer of security as well.

I am not going to guide you on setting up the certification files.

But you are going to need to use your wan ip in the node ini settings. And you will need to spoof your agent, gateway and i think the other one with Chern0byl's srPatcher and use your new WANIP assigned by directly connecting to the modem.

Any questions please ask.

I was with you until you said "use your local ip in the node ini settings".
If you are connected directly to the modem through a switch, there is no LAN - only WAN.

Yea my mistake. Corrected.

You will still need to spoof your IP with srPatcher.

That's another thing I find odd...
If your server is connected directly to the internet with a WAN ip address, what exactly would you be spoofing?

The programs itself. Agent, Gateway and the 3rd. Can't remember. Because they are set to a local 127.0.0.1 they aren't set to run under a Wan IP address. So it didn't work unless it was spoofed.

You also need a cracked agent server or it will cause mobs to spawn then despawn. Also GM loadmonster and zoe would not work. This will only be fixed if you run the cracked agentserver.
