Palworld server guide

Host a Palworld server without port forwarding

Turn on the HaruHost Tunnel and your Palworld server gets a public address through HaruHost's relay. Friends find it in Community Servers or join by address, with no router setup, even behind CGNAT, on Starlink or on mobile internet.

How it works

The Tunnel connects your server to a relay region near you. Players connect to the relay, and the relay passes the game traffic to your PC. Your router needs no open ports, and your home address stays private.

Turn it on

  1. When you create the server, choose Tunnel on the connection step. For an existing server, turn the Tunnel on from its Details tab.
  2. Start the server. HaruHost lists it in Community Servers with the Tunnel's address.
  3. Send friends the Server Address from the Details tab, or tell them the server's name to search for.

When you need it

  • Your internet provider uses CGNAT, so port forwarding can't work.
  • You play on Starlink, mobile data or a shared network you don't control.
  • You don't want to change router settings or show your home address.

More about relay regions and the games it supports is on the Tunnel page.

Questions

Can I host a Palworld server behind CGNAT?

Yes. With the Tunnel on, players connect to HaruHost's relay, which passes the traffic to your server, so CGNAT doesn't matter.

Does a Tunnel server show in Community Servers?

Yes. HaruHost lists it with the Tunnel's public address.
