Why is my locally hosted FiveM server seen as private by my friends?

[Punky_DEV]

Hello everyone,

I am having an issue with my FiveM server that I host at home on my own machine. The server is configured to be public, but my friends who are trying to connect from a distance receive the message “This server cannot be connected to as it is private.”

I have also restarted my server several times and checked the logs, but I do not see any obvious errors. My server is accessible locally, but my friends cannot connect from a distance.

Could you help me understand why my server is seen as private by my friends and how to resolve this issue?

Thank you in advance for your help!

My server is accessible locally, but my friends cannot connect from a distance.

Did you forward ports properly?

You should check and see if you have sv_master1 "" set in your server’s CFG file. If it is then you need to comment it out.

Did you forward ports properly?

Yes, I confirm that I have correctly opened and redirected the ports from the box to the machine’s port (30120).

I tried commenting out the line and it didn’t change anything.

[termanator1128]

It does. That is the entire purpose of that line.

[Many_dev]

Yes, but whether the line is commented out or not, the server is seen as ‘private’.

Show your CFG file and remove any licenses or passwords.
