Port forwarding for game server

Post by Nago » Sun Feb 18, 2024 10:14 pm

Hello all,

I tried to google this for a few days but haven't gotten anything to work yet.

So what I am trying to achieve is my on-prem server is running a dedicated game server that communicates off ports 15636-15637 TCP and UDP. That same server is an OpenVPN client to an Oracle Cloud VM with an OpenVPN server installed on it. The problem I am running into is I cannot port-forward those previously stated ports from the Cloud VM to the dedicated game server on-prem.

The furthest I got with this setup is the following:
  • packets for those ports are getting picked up by the OpenVPN server but are not being sent out to my on-prem server.
  • The VPN connection from the static IP address on the Client (on-prem) to the Server (Cloud VM) connects and can ping each other.
  • Ingress Rules on the Oracle Cloud have been set for each port range.
I don't want to put too much info in my first post so if more details are needed then please let me know.

I apologize if this question has been answered before as it did not show up in my search results.
