Is it possible to play behind a NAT firewall?
Hi!
My computer is behind a NAT firewall that forwards all TCP, UDP and ICMP traffic. Unfortunately I can't play the game. "ROClientGame.exe" stops at the stage "Connecting... Checking firewall...". What could be the problem? Does "ROClientGame.exe" need to accept incoming connections from the Internet? Thanks. |

Yes it needs in/out access.
In theory, you could use a SSH Tunnel do play the game but I didn't get it working myself yet. I suppose you are trying to play the game from your school or something similar? Then you could also try this: www.your-freedom.net

So do I at home, but the point is that most workplaces/schools prevent outgoing traffic on all ports but 80 and sometimes 443.

EDIT: Mind that the use of HTTP tunnels may be forbidden by some companies...

I was 50% sucessful I used tsocks to make the game use my socks emulation SSH Tunnel, but, at official server I would get disconnected almost at once and at experimental I wouldn't see any mobs, neither would my position get updated. It's my guess that the UDP packages didn't get forwarded properly.

What if you try setting the encryption lvl to the minimum? The server may be dropping packages because of the time it takes to hop from the NAT'd computer to the SSH server and then to Ra.
I'd love that Surak could enlighten us about this :P

EDIT: Znurre, I assume the initial port is just for making the connection, it would prolly need a range afterwards that it hops to transfer the data stream. Or something like that.
