Firewall Blocking Conan

[craig1690]

Hello there,

 

I am running in to this issue with Conan, if i create a server

 

The Inbound firewall rule is created for that server and the ConanSandBoxServer.exe is added to the programs to allow

 

the directory it chooses is C:\TCAFiles\Users\CLIENTPATH\43\ConanSandboxServer.exe

 

when looking up the server in steam servers, it cannot be found, however if i turn the firewall OFF, and research the server shows up and looks to be joinable

 

any help would be appreciated

Hi, so you can setup a script to run after creation and also one for after reinstall that has something like this:

 

netsh firewall add allowedprogram "%ThisService_RootDirectory%ConanSandbox\Binaries\Win64\ConanSandboxServer-Win64-Test.exe" %ThisService_IpAddress%_%ThisService_GamePort% ENABLE

 

Then also create one for after delete like this:

 

netsh firewall del allowedprogram "%ThisService_RootDirectory%ConanSandbox\Binaries\Win64\ConanSandboxServer-Win64-Test.exe"

Conan Exiles doens't use that executable to run the server. ConanSandboxServer.exe is only a wrapper, I think. Open up 'Resource Monitor' in Windows and see what the actual executable is. Ours has been set to ConanSandbox\Binaries\Win64\ConanSandboxServer-Win64-Test.exe as this is what's actually running.

Dennis is correct. I was in a rush when I replied but my solution above will fix the issue for you.
