Another? Game server and connectivity issues under VPN

[Lordvpn 4]

I appreciate this is not solely on the shoulders of the VPN though it works when it's not in use


We're trying to host a Warcraft server using Mangos/SQL etc.
The process server side is there's a database table that has the server IP 
Additionally the clients must amend a configuration file to match that IP

Server ports are the following and deal with different elements such as authentication, world data and database
8085
3306
3247

They are open on the router



When I do the above with AirVPN/Eddie disengaged, persons can join whether internal or external to network i.e. it works






For the attempt with VPN running the following was changed:

• IP address in the SQL database set to the 10.x.x.x IP of the Eddie adapter on the hosting computer/server
• IP address on the client side configuration files
• Ports in Eddie client page set for tcp/udp both IPV4 & IPV6 

The outcome is odd
The game client can authenticate/login however the next stage involves joining a server. That part of the process gets stuck and effectively times out
At first I though this me overlooking say the world port (and meanwhile the authentication port was fine since it allowed a login) and that's why it stuck at that stage

Yet I have triple checked and all three ports are still forwarded on the router and the AIRVPN client page
Doing some tracing didn't really turn up much about traffic on the port. I had hoped the Eddie logs would assist with traffic blocked entries.



As a comparison I changed the IPs to the exit IP of AIRVPN as a test and oddly I got the same result, it sees the login though cannot proceed


Is there a way I can export my current Eddie preferences, possibly I enabled or disabled something previously that's affecting this?

I presume that this is not unique to Warcraft /Mangos as other games Ark for example have multiple ports to open and I remember reading here that persons got that going OK with VPN running

Of note should it help I was doing some client/server testing around 18:00 in those logs

This indicates the communication is using a port you didn't forward. While the three ports you indicated might as well be Auth, SQL and world data, the actual connections to the server might use an arbitrary UDP port range.

Also, I cannot quite fathom how it's possible that I'm seeing the logs alone and not the Eddie system report with all configs. It's like you didn't read the guide at all, where it's written multiple times that the system report contains the logs and therefore is not enough to paste. We are not troubleshooting your connection to the server, read what is requested of you, please!
