[0.17.69] Headless server cannot connect to auth.factorio.com [resolved]

[mavranel]

Hello. I am attempting to set up a headless factorio server for me and some friends. Operating system is Linux 18.04. I have port forwarded already via my router and followed install directions quite thoroughly. I am able to get factorio to start, but it immediately stops due to being unable to contact auth.factorio.com . Any assistance on what I may have missed would be appreciated.

Also I have fiddled with the server settings and set to LAN only and set requre user verification to false and it still did not work.

Here is the log from my latest attempt.

Why do you think auth.factorio.com has something to do with this? I don't see any mention of that in the log you posted.

My apologies there was a different message from when I initialize it. Here is what it looks like when I run the command to start up the server.

"Could not resolve host: auth.factorio.com" sounds like a dns failure. (Although without the actual code, I don't know if any other errors can generate the same error message).

What does "nslookup auth.factorio.com" print? (If that works as a normal user, then try the same command using the Factorio server user and environment).

I appreciate the help it turns out that network configuration decided to swap over to not grabbing an ipv6 address which I didn't notice because I had already downloaded everything that I needed before it decided to randomly swap over to that setting. Why it did that is beyond my mortal mind, but I appreciate the help.
