Port Mapping? #1272

Open alec121100 opened 3 months ago

alec121100 commented 3 months ago

Hello! After hours of configuring and frustration, I've found out that my provider decided to take away my IPv4 from me(rip). 😔 So my port forwarding was clearly useless and my reinstalls were useless.

Is port mapping a way to make it work?

I'm not tooo deep in this topic. It would be much easier to just rent a server but I have one at home and want to use it.

I don't think the ARK server supports IPv6 addresses, so if your network is IPv6-only, or is on a CG-NAT network (usually 100.64.0.0/10), then without something like a VPN with an IPv4 exit node that supports port forwarding, I don't think there's any real way to host a publicly accessible ARK server on your network.
