Nothing to forward with the Tunnel
Choose Tunnel on the Connection step when you create the server, or turn it on from the Details tab, and send friends the Server Address. No router or firewall settings to change.
Ports are handled for you
HaruHost gives every server its own port, with the Tunnel or without it, so two servers never clash. The Details tab lists it under Ports In Use.
Hosting on your own address
- The port: UDP 5520 by default. Hytale's connections use UDP only, so a TCP rule won't help.
- On Windows: turn on Auto-manage UPnP and Auto-manage Firewall and HaruHost opens the port on your router and in Windows Firewall when the server starts. Or forward your port range once; HaruHost shows the rule under Devices → Manage device → Network Settings.
- On a VPS: open your port range for UDP in the provider's firewall; HaruHost shows it under Devices → Manage device → Network Settings.
Questions
What port does a Hytale server use?
One UDP port, 5520 by default. HaruHost gives each server its own; with the Tunnel none needs forwarding.
