Adding new Arma Reforger server.
Hello
I am currently tring to add 4x Arma Reforger servers to BM RCON.
I had it working a few months ago, but I left, someone else came in, and broke it.
I have reset the boxes and installed all the apportion software and I am using Pterodactyl panel to control the servers.
I have the port "19999" assigned in the allocation tab of the server. I also have that port allowed through our server providers fire wall as 19999/UDP and I am allowing it through via "ufw allow 19999/udp"
When I try and connect the RCON I get the below error, even though I am pretty sure I have everything set correctly. Any help would be appreciated.

Fixed it, I had to delete the Allication of the port in the Pterodactyl panel and then reassign it. No idea why that worked, but hey!

i'd first check if reforger's listening on the port as expected, in case it didn't enable RCON; does
netstat -tulpn show udp 19999 is in use?Hmmm interestingly not?
weird... it's supposed to be this server right?
https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/reforger/34161687
does it show udp 2003 there at least?
oh, and where is that rcon object placed in your config? is it on the top level, or inside a sub-object like "game"?
Yes thats the old one
And its at the bottom
The 2003 port shows as being ran from docker, which makes sense
ah, then maybe the container doesn't have port 19999 published?
i never even thought of that
i'm not entirely familiar with pterodactyl since i usually host directly with linuxgsm, but does the container appear in
docker ps? that should show which ports are published for each one iircah yea
its not there
ill add it
after you make your changes, you can check netstat again or locally run battleye's official RCON client to attempt connecting to it (battleye.com/downloads, i guess dyno doesn't like it)
also as a sidenote, did you change any of ufw's rules to accommodate for docker? i believe unless you follow some guide like github.com/chaifeng/ufw-docker to fix it, all published container ports would be open to the internet regardless of ufw commands
Oh i never even knew this, I appreciate your knowledge
it shouldn't be a problem in this case since you want your reforger's published ports to be open, but it's good to keep in mind if you use docker for anything else
(personally i added the after.rules on my VPS, but got a bit lazy and made all ports open by default cause my VPS panel has a page for it's own firewall anyway)
My host also has a firewall too, its not very good though as it dosent allow you to expose port ranges
yup, same here 😔

I appreciate your help @thegamecracks
Oh also, if using docker, set the ip for Rcon to 0.0.0.0
