A Myth of Empires server is reachable only if the firewall lets the right ports through (11888, 12888 TCP/UDP). This tool writes the commands for Linux (ufw or iptables) and Windows (netsh).
How to use the tool
Check the default ports and change them if you modified them.
Choose the format: ufw, iptables or Windows (netsh).
Copy or download the commands and run them on the server (sudo, or an administrator PowerShell).
Open the same ports at your provider or on your router (NAT), then test from outside.
Limits
These rules only configure the machine's own firewall. The provider firewall (“security group”) and the router's port forwarding are set separately.
Ports 11888 and 12888, TCP and UDP (ZAP-Hosting guide). A community panel template also uses 13888 for RCON: open it only if you enable RCON, preferably restricted to your IP.
Frequently asked questions
- Why can't my players connect despite the rules?
- Check the provider firewall, the NAT forward, that the server really listens on these ports and that the protocol (UDP/TCP) matches.
- Can I restrict access to one IP address?
- Yes: enter the source IP or network (e.g. 203.0.113.10). Left empty, the rules apply to everyone. Useful for admin ports.
