Change UDP ip listener

nOograss · July 2012

Hi everyone,

I'm just starting with Photon and have a server running.
I can access it via my local network but it is not accessible via the outside of my network.
I see that in the log the udp listener ip is set to my local IP .
9564: 23:43:08.105 - Adding UDP listener on :192.168.1.x: 5055 with a listen backlog of: 500
Where can I change that ?

Thanks

Just noticed that this question remained unanswered - sorry! I guess you found a solution by yourself in the meantime, but for the sake of completeness:

Open your PhotonServer.config and look out for this section:

&lt;UDPListeners&gt;
 &lt;UDPListener
  IPAddress="0.0.0.0"
  Port="5055"&gt;
&lt;/UDPListener&gt;
&lt;/UDPListeners&gt;

If the IPAddress is 0.0.0.0, Photon listens to all IPs that are configured on your server. You can specify a real IP (in case you have more than one IP and don't want Photon to use them all).

If you don't have a public IP on your server, you need to configure port forwarding on your router. http://www.portforward.com is a great resource in that case.
