Before you read:

• Ignore the Network Utilities thing on portforward.com.
• Dedicated servers perform much better than servers hosted from the in-game menu

Port forwarding instructions

1. Visit this guide website
2. Find your router by model
3. Follow the instructions and when you get to the point where it becomes relevant the actual port you want is UDP 7777

Brickadia server connection troubleshooting guide

1. Check if port 7777 is forwarded for UDP
2. Check if the computer the port is forwarded for has the same IP as the IPv4 Address when you run ipconfig in a cmd
3. Check if there is only one currently active adapter when you run ipconfig in cmd (Inactive may say "Media Disconnected")
4. Check if Firewall -> Advanced Settings -> Inbound Rules -> brickadia-win64-shipping is checked for public or private networks
5. Check if Ethernet (or Wireless) Settings -> Click the connected Network -> Network profile is the same as the one from firewall settings
6. Check if Ethernet (or Wireless) Settings -> Change Adapter Options -> Only one network connection is Enabled and Connected

• If you have multiple networks at the same time:
  • Make sure you forward for the address of whatever adapter Brickadia is using
  • If you are running Hamatchi, this is likely a problem. Try killing the task and disabling the adapter.
• If your port forwarding requires you to put a Local IP Address and an External IP Address:
  • Leave the section that does not have Start/End Port or Protocol alone
  • Set Local IP address to the IPv4 Address from ipconfig
  • External IP address should be 0.0.0.0
• If your port forwarding requires you to put a Source IP Address and an Destination IP Address:
  • Set Source IP address to 0.0.0.0
  • Set Destination IP address to the IPv4 Address from ipconfig
