[SOLVED] Local CharServ can't get contacted when behind a VPN (from server running it)

[wiggleman]

Hey folks!

Hope this is the correct subforum.

I'm trying to make my server online for some people on my side. Since my ISP only offers a Carrier-Grade NAT, I have to use a VPN to accomplish this.

So far: The server CAN be found, when the machine running it has the VPN on. I get the following message from the client when logging in:

So far, so good. It can be found and even recognizes usernames and passwords.

The issue on server-side, is the following. It's the charserv.bat:

 

I'm lost here. Activating a VPN shouldn't block the connection to the local (127.0.0.1) database for this one. The Loginserver and Mapserver, which use the same location, are totally fine, up and running. Mapserver gets the error when connecting to the charserv, but that's obvious. I mean, it's not running, due to the error above.

 

I appreciate any help here, and hope I can play with my guys soon.

Thanks in advance, much love!

Solved by myself and a weird logic. Replaced "127.0.0.1" with "localhost"

Unfortunately, that was not it.

 

BUT!

It's solved!

 

A really weird issue, because both should be the same:

I had to replace the 127.0.0.1 address with localhost. It doesn't make any sense to me, but... it's working.

 

My server is up and running for me and my pals now. And I will try to accept the logic behind this issue.
