Connection refused (SourceBans to SRCDS)

[UVClay]

Have two VPS. Both have a fully open iptables config.

http://radio.teamsij.com/sb_debug_connection.php

The IP defined in the connection debug script is on my game server box and the script itself is hosted on my web server. I've tried everything to resolve this and I have no idea what to do next.

"Connection refused" generally means that the destination port is closed. Do you have it connecting to the correct port for TCP? The default is 27015, but if you're running your server on a different port, you'll need to adjust this.

Also add your gameserver ip to your remote mysql on your web hosting if you haven't already.

Code: Select all

root@absolut:~# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination  

Code: Select all

root@stoli:~# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination 

That's why this is so confusing.

I have.

Just reread my reply and forgot to mention that the server is running on 27015 like you had mentioned.

udp 0 0 66.150.164.33:26901 0.0.0.0:* 9655/srcds_linux
udp 0 0 66.150.164.33:27005 0.0.0.0:* 9655/srcds_linux
udp 0 0 66.150.164.33:27015 0.0.0.0:* 9655/srcds_linux
udp 0 0 66.150.164.33:27020 0.0.0.0:* 9655/srcds_linux

e:
With SourceBans you are supposed to define the default connection port, which is 27015. Even with the three other ports its using, there shouldn't be a connection issue given the fact that the iptables should be accepting every connection no matter what. I tried to test the port being open with telnet on my desktop and was getting connection refused as well.

Is the web server yours or are you renting a shared hosting account?

UVClay, rcon uses TCP, so you need to check for TCP listen sockets and not UDP. If the only sockets that are open are the ones you quoted, this is your problem.
