futureboy Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 The game and the manual have conflicting port numbers that needs to be open/forwarded when starting a multiplayer server. The documentation lists two different ports, 21112 and 22222 and the game lists one port 21112. The correct port to open/forward for the multiplayer server is 22222. The client (connecting machine) does not need to open/forward any ports. In addition you should have these two firewall rules:Name Profile Enable Action Override Program LocalAddress RemoteAddress Protocol LocalPort RemotePort AuthorizedUsers AuthorizedComputers AuthorizedLocalPrinciples LocalUserOwner ApplicationPackage tower3d All Yes Allow No C:\program files (x86)\feelthere\tower!3d pro\tower3d.exe Any Any UDP Any Any Any Any Any Any Any tower3d All Yes Allow No C:\program files (x86)\feelthere\tower!3d pro\tower3d.exe Any Any TCP Any Any Any Any Any Any Any If you have the Steam version, you program path may be C:\program files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\tower 3d pro\tower3d.exe RickyJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelThere_Vic Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Dear Folks, Yes we are aware of that problem. It was a last minute change and we mixed things up. We plan to release the SP very soon (ie.: we plan it for this week unless we run into some problem) which will solve it all. Thank you Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plungedcashew Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Hello, Friend and myself are trying to play multiplayer together. I tried using both ports 21112 and port 22222 for my partner to connect. Neither of these when forwarded (router + windows firewall) yielded a successful connection. We then tried Hamachi... Hamachi allowed a successful connection to be made, however each time the game would get "stuck" on a loading percentage number. We each tried hosting to no avail. Thoughts? Help.

I do not have any control over it If you don't have admin rights then you''re out of luck. That leaves you with three options: See if someone with admin rights can make the necessary changes Use Hamachi or other software that doesn't require port forwarding and hope you can find someone else willing to do the same Resign yourself to the fact that you'll need someone else to host if you want to play a multiplayer session 2 and 3 are probably the most realistic options and there are plenty of folks in both groups on Tower_MP.

pete_agreatguy Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 I'm confused. I was under the impression we only need 21112? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crbascott Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 21112 is the only port needed. When T3D Pro was released it used port 22222 but that was “quickly” changed to 21112 when advised that port was also used by some “not-so-nice” programs.

Thanks for the clarification - I assumed as much as never really had any issues connecting except when my net was messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete_agreatguy Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Nope. Incorrect assumptions there I don't understand it. Your ISP can see everything you do anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripskin Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 VPN will encrypt the traffic from your PC to the destination, your ISP can see the traffic but unless they have the encryption key they don't know what you are doing as its encrypted out of your PC before hitting their network. Depending on the VPN they wont even know where it is going as the packet has to be unlocked at the VPN host and then forwarded to its destination. Very handy for "being" somewhere else in the world to watch content that is free for someone in that country, download games from different server options (Steam location restrictions), keep what you do private and away from anyone snooping. If you do heavy banking or financial work and you don't want anyone eye balling it or something it can be handy. Some country's block access to various sites or applications so VPN'ing into another country opens up those applications or ports. Some of it can be for the tin foil association but it has it's purposes. I can either remote into my home PC and be on my network if my PC is on, or I can VPN into my NAS / Server and "be" on my network from the device by having my NAS / Server be a vpn host and other than some latency it is as though I am sitting at home on my network. Outside of the obvious acquisition of data through questionable legality it has a lot of purposes for people in various situations and needs.
