Core Keeper server questions
Can HaruHost host Core Keeper servers?
Yes, with you as the host. HaruHost runs Core Keeper dedicated servers on your own Windows or Linux PC, home server or VPS: friends can join through the Tunnel without port forwarding (paid plans) and you see how many players are online.
Can I host Core Keeper servers on Linux?
Yes. Core Keeper servers run on Windows and Linux, and you manage them from the desktop app or the web panel.
Do my friends need port forwarding to join?
No. On a VPS, friends join at its public address once your port range is open in the provider's firewall, if it has one. At home, the Tunnel (paid plans) lets them join through one of 14 regions without router changes. The server's Details tab shows what they need to join.
Can I import my existing Core Keeper server?
Yes. Browse to its folder and HaruHost recognises the server and imports it with its saves and settings. Import works on Windows.
Can I see who is playing?
