Settings

You can install and run the Proxy on the same PC where the Game Server is running, or on any other PC.

For transmitting the real IP address of the player, Proxy must be running on the network interface with direct access to the Internet.

If you running Proxy on the same PC you need run GateServer on inner network interface and Proxy on outer network interface.

GateServer.cfg

[ToClient]
IP = 127.0.0.1
Port = 1973
CommEncrypt = 0

config.json

{
	"local": {
		"host": "77.88.99.55", // Public IP address of PC
		"port": 1973
	},
	"remote": {
		"host": "127.0.0.1",
		"port": 1973
	},
	"realip": true
}

If you running Proxy on the different PCs you need run GateServer on outer network interface and Proxy on outer network interface on another PC.

GateServer.cfg

[ToClient]
IP = 0.0.0.0
Port = 1973
CommEncrypt = 0

config.json

{
	"local": {
		"host": "0.0.0.0",
		"port": 1973
	},
	"remote": {
		"host": "77.88.99.55", // GateServer IP address
		"port": 1973
	},
	"realip": true
}

Set "realip": true in config.json for save real IP address of the player.

If you using FilterServer or another filter between GateServer and GameServer you can not save real ip address and you need set "realip": false in config.json

Real IP address of the player will be saved in AccountServer.account_login.last_login_mac as mac-address;ip-address, i.e. 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00;127.0.0.1
