MultiCraft suddenly stopped working on external ip in web browser.

[taber]

Hi MCM,

I see an issue. My developers were trying to log into my panel, and suddenly the web panel stopped working on the external domain. It doesnt work internally (on a different PC *When i type in the multicraft computer's IPv4's address*) or externally. Any help?

From googling, this is a fix from I found on another forum:

Well, just as I thought, it was an obvious fix. And if anyone has the same issue, I'll explain how I fixed it:


Turns out that the issue was just a firewall issue, and I'm not completely stupid, so I did check it. HOWEVER, turns out a lot of the open port checker sites lie. Two of them both said that port 26566 was closed, even though I port forwarded. Then I checked another website, and it said "filtered". That means that the port is in fact open but a firewall is blocking my local ip address from being able to listen. I have disabled the firewall on my router, so that meant it was my computer blocking it.


To fix it I went to advanced settings in firewall and did the following steps:

• Right click on Inbound Rules and select New rule...
• Select port and click next
• Select tcp and enter the port (in my case it was 26566) and click next
• Click allow the connection and click next
• Name it and click next
• And it works!
