Hidden headless Server

[Sessa93]

Hello to everybody!

i've currently installed the headless server 0.14.21 on my private ubuntu 16.04 machine. I'm now editing the visibility(in the json file) of the server to hidden, but when the server starts it says "invalid visibility". Why? Is it no more supported?

Thank you!

Hi, this is how visibility setting should be setup for hidden headless server

Code: Select all

  "visibility":
  {
    "public": false,
    "lan": false
  },

Ok it works but i've some problems, the server starts but opens a socket over 0.0.0.0(port 34197) and so i cannot reach it from the outside!
Any idea?

0.0.0.0 simply stands for all available interfaces. If you can't connect to the server, this is not the reason.

You probably just need to open up up the port on your firewall
