So I’ve been trying to set up a server for Project Zomboid for several days now. I have followed the wiki guide to the T on how to set the server up. I have the server running and have opened the ports on my modem/router Arris G34. Followed the guide on the website to the T on opening ports. Looks identical to the guide minus the swapped ports for Zomboid. Have tried checking the ports with several port listeners and no matter what I do they come up closed. I have turned off the firewall entirely, turned off my PC’s firewall entirely, ended my antivirus, re-added the port forwarding rules in every fashion I could think of and they are still closed and the server does not show up. I am at a loss for what to do at this point.
I’m about 80% sure it’s something to do with this modem router as any port I check is considered closed. Any rule I add seems to do nothing. I’ve checked every single setting and option on it but I cannot for the life of me figure out what is wrong.
