Scorched3D Ports

The Scorched3D client uses the following ports:-

Port | Description
80 TCP | For server browsing (outgoing connections only).
27270 TCP | For game messages (outgoing connections only). This may differ depending on the game port the server is running on.
27271 UDP | For server browsing (outgoing connections only). This may differ depending on the game port the server is running on.

The Scorched3D server uses the following ports:-

Port | Description
80 TCP | For server browsing registration (outgoing connections only).
27270 TCP | For game messages (incoming connections only). This can be changed using the server settings.
27271 UDP | For server browsing (incoming connections only). When the server port is changed will always be the server port + 1.

To run a server ports 27270 TCP and 27271 UDP (or whatever ports you choose for the server) need to be accessible externally. When running a Scorched3D server behind a firewall or NAT router it may be necersary to open or forward these ports.
