Subject: UDP tunnel not forwarding traffic - Conan Exiles Enhanced

Hi,

I have a premium account and I’m having issues with UDP tunnels not forwarding any traffic.

Setup:

  • Linux Ubuntu 24.04

  • playit agent v0.17.1 running as systemd service

  • Conan Exiles Enhanced dedicated server listening on UDP 0.0.0.0:7777

  • Tunnel configured: UDP, Poland, 127.0.0.1:7777

Problem:

  • Agent is online and connected

  • Tunnel shows as active/green

  • When trying to connect to the tunnel address, no traffic appears in bandwidth stats

  • Agent logs show udp channel requires auth, sent auth request / udp session details received in a loop

  • Direct connection to local IP works fine

The server is definitely running and accepting local connections. The issue is specifically with UDP traffic not being forwarded through the tunnel.

Conan needs multiple ports, and not just UDP.

  • Game Client Port: 7777 UDP
  • Mod Download Port: 7777 TCP
  • Raw UDP Port: 7778 UDP
  • Source Query Port: 27015 UDP
  • RCON: 25575 TCP

Now the first four of these are required for a server to function. RCON should not be forwarded unless you are using an external server manager.

Theoretically you could just set the base TCP/UDP port mapping for each of those. I have not personally tried it yet, and I’m not on a Pro plan to see if there is any other configuration.

Ok, set it up today. My server is on 15660, and I configured the ports as follows…

  • Game Client Port: 15660 UDP
  • Mod Download Port: 15660 TCP
  • Raw UDP Port: 15661 UDP
  • Source Query Port: 15662 UDP
  • RCON: 15663 TCP

I then created the TCP/UDP port mapping for four ports, and set the initial port at 15660.

I was able to successfully connect to the server without an issue using IP address:port. Do note that using the domain:port does not work with Conan.
