Hi,

I'm trying to add my Quake 3 server to GameTracker, the ports are forwarded and gaming is working fine (shows up on server browsers and all) - However it cannot be added to Gametracker because it also need to be allowed through IPTables - But how?,

I have tried adding:

-I INPUT -s 108.61.78.147 -j ACCEPT
-I INPUT -s 208.167.241.185 -j ACCEPT

Also appending it with -A instead of -I, but nothing.

After I add these I'm saving the config and typing

iptables-save

What am I missing? - What entry needs to be added for GameTracker to scan the server on port 27960?.

OS: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Server)

Thanks,

We do not provide support for iptables, but there are plenty of resources available to help you whitelist IPs, if that is your desired setup.

Scanner IPs

For those who are looking for assistance with their IPTables and GT Scanning (based off Ubuntu Server 14.04 and IPTables located in /etc/iptables/rules.v4)

#START - GAMETRACK SCANNING
-A INPUT -s 208.167.241.190 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -s 208.167.241.185 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -s 208.167.241.186 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -s 208.167.241.183 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -s 208.167.241.189 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -s 108.61.78.147 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -s 108.61.78.148 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -s 108.61.78.149 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -s 108.61.78.150 -j ACCEPT
#END - GAMETRACKER SCANNING

-A = Appends it to the rules
INPUT = Incomming connection
-s = Source IP address
-j = Jump to action
ACCEPT = action to take (in this case, ACCEPT the connection)

Do that for all scanning addresses.
Save configuration with CTRL+O (if using something like Putty) then iptables-save
Lookup how to make it persistent (so that the rules start with the OS)

if you are running "centos 6" try this command "service iptables stop" to be sure that the problem was in iptables rules or not.
