Uh, how can I check what ports are open/forwarded on my computer (on Linux), and also how do I forward ports in OpenWRT (using LuCI) cause doing it the way I thought you're supposed to is maybe wrong? 🥲
I'm trying to set up a TES3MP server to play with my partner but they can't connect due to port issues 😔

@hazelnot if this is your first time doing this check that the host computer doesn't have a firewall enabled, blocking it. If so you can punch a hole for that port, or set your home network as a "trusted" zone.
Once you know that is done and applied, try running this command to show you active listening ports and you should see TES3 server `sudo netstat -tunlp` .
At that point, you just need to forward the port in Luci webUI. If you are asked to forward "from port x to y" put the server port in both boxes. If that goes through and doesn't seem to work, wait a few minutes and try again with "y" as a higher port number. Some ISPs ban public listening ports on "consumer" connections below ~20000.
Maybe that helps?
@thufie huh, thanks, I'll try this later/tomorrow!
@thufie hm ok it shows up as UDP on port 25565, but it doesn't say "LISTEN" next to it?
@hazelnot can it accept local network connections?
