Dedicated Server Not Showing

Pocketpair Palworld

Severity: Moderate

What Does This Error Mean?

A Palworld dedicated server not appearing in the list usually means the server is not reachable from the internet — the required UDP ports are not forwarded on the host's router. Forward UDP 8211 on the host's router and firewall to fix this.

UDP port 8211 not forwarded on the host router
