Enshrouded Windows Server Setup Guide: Creating a 24/7 Private Server
This video provides a detailed guide on how to set up a 24-hour dedicated Enshrouded server using a Windows PC. It covers the entire process, from router port forwarding and Windows Firewall configuration to installing the server engine and configuring the environment using Steam CMD, and finally, conducting a connection test.
⚠️ The server will not run if you set the password to blank.
1. 🌐 Router Port Forwarding Configuration: Based on IP Time Router
- ✅ Explains how to configure port forwarding based on IP Time routers.
- ✅ Users of other router brands are advised to refer to their manuals or related videos.
- ✅ Navigate to port forwarding settings in NAT/Routing Management and add a rule.
- ⚠️ The rule name can be set arbitrarily, and the protocol should be changed to UDP.
- ✅ Enter 15637 for both the external and internal ports.
- ✅ For the internal IP address, enter the internal IP address of the PC you will use as the server.
| 설정 항목 | 설정 값 |
|---|---|
| 규칙 이름 | 임의 설정 |
| 프로토콜 | UDP |
| 외부 포트 | 15637 |
| 내부 포트 | 15637 |
| 내부 IP 주소 | 서버 PC의 내부 IP 주소 |
