patulong about sa no ip connection

[secondL]

guys gagamit sana ako ng no-ip.com ang problema is pag dating sa server hindi sya madetect, ang nadedetect nya is yung IPv4 pero pag hamachi ang gagamitin ko nadedetect nya...sabi kasi maganda daw ang no-ip kesa sa hamachi....alin ba ang dapat ilagay sa conf settings? (map,char,login) yung ginawa kong domain or yung wan ip? kasi yan lahat na sinubukan ko na (yung domain na ginawa ko, yung ip na nakuha ko sa whatismyip.org,).....sana matulungan nyo ko nagtry na rin ako nagsearch dito pero hindi ganun ka klaro ang info more on tutorials lang about sa no-ip

 

 

PS hindi ko alam kung tama ba ang category na pinagpost ko, pakilipat na lang po maraming salamat

no-ip is a software that uses a domain to link your dynamic IP address, it is not the best way to use no-ip because every time a player attempted to login the first IP to be checked was the no-ip custom domain, instead it is better to provide static ip address.

 

Ask PLDT about "JUNIOR plan" for Static IP Address, or you may ask them about STATIC IP.

 

Hamachi:

• is a VPN software that secures connection between a Host to Host.
• gives you a network starting with 5.x.x.x network (a virtual network).

    Problems about hamachi:

• only allows up to 254+ users only (correct me if I'm wrong).
• there is a midware connections

 

NO-IP Requirements:

-you must download their software and install and should be running every time you up your rAthena server

-hosts should be able! to PING your WAN IP, try other online tools such as canyouseeme.org/ and try to ping your rAthena ports such as 80/3306/6900/5121/6121

 

HAMACHI Requirements:

-you must download their software and install and create your own Group/Server

-you must message your players to share your Hamachi Virtual IP or Group Name and Password

 

 

If your connection was not static but you can PORT FORWARD your ports then you can use NO-IP, if you can't PING your server&ports then use HAMACHI...

 

as a network expert, there is always a problem between this middle software, they are not good when running a server like rAthena or other possible Client-Server applications, you're just wasting your bandwidth, instead of putting your connections to a middle software, just provide them your static IP address...ofcourse running a server is not just about "earning money" but also provide your users/client a good service.

This isn't an issue if your server is hosted on a dedicated machine or a VPS.

 

Things to consider:

• Before using No-IP's service, you should know if you're on static or dynamic IP. If static then there is no need for you to use such service(s).
• Hamachi is only usable when you're unable to do port forwarding and/or unable to configure, or you're having difficulties doing the procedures on port forward part
• Go for dedicated server(s) or VPS when going public, you only host your server at home/office/school for testing purposes.

 

Note: There are actually cheap VPS service(s). I myself go for these to host my test server(s).

 

 

@Topic

When you want to release your server to the public and still play on the same machine, then the proper IP Configuration would be:

 

LAN IP
WAN IP/no-ip or any DNS service(s)
