ANSWERED Can't get HighID on aMule...

[PresterJohn 0]

I've opened ports here on AirVPN, the same ports are opened in my firewall on my server. Still I can't get HighID on aMule. The port tester shows the first, TCP, port as open while getting stuck on the two UDP-ports. And I have ports opened for Transmission and SLSKD which which shows as open. So I would assume it is a problem with UDP-ports here on AirVPN. Or am I completely wrong?

Hello!

AMule uses both TCP and UDP protocols for different functions. TCP is primarily used for client-to-client transfers and connections to eDonkey servers, while UDP is used for extended protocol features, according to Wikipedia. For your account you have forwarded a few UDP only ports. Please change them to "TCP and UDP" and test again.

Furthermore, if your system is Windows, make sure that the Windows Firewall (or Defender etc.) allows incoming packets for aMule on both private and public networks: if the VPN is considered a public network (check it out) by default incoming packets will be rejected or dropped.

Kind regards

Ok, solved it by opening the ports as TCP/UDP and then binding amule-daemon to the interface. Ports still don't show as open, but I do get HighID. Thanks!

Hello!

Excellent. We also see the ports as open, we can reach your service(s) from the Internet and we receive back a proper reply. The port tester is successful but remember that the test is only over TCP.

Kind regards
