Some players have ISPs or routers that block high ports. This may help players, such as this guy, to connect to mumble better.

I would be able to play 10x more lobbies and enjoy this site much more if I was able to connect to the mumble provided by tf2center.

I do not want to give up the default port; but forwarding from a lower port could work in this case. Any suggestions for such port?

I don't know much about ports but I know all other ports work for me. So if what I was connecting to wasn't a 64k I could do it. I'm not very savvy in that area so I couldn't give suggestions :/

Have you tried portforwarding to try to get this port to work? Not sure if that would work or not.

You mean like what you have to do in order to host for multiplayer and stuff like that? I can't mess with my router settings because its not my router.

You might be able to use a SOCKS5 relay to bounce your connection to the mumble server.  I was able to use a free proxy listed in http://www.socks-proxy.net/. 

 

Under the SOCKS proxy, Find a server ip address near you, and it's port number.  In the mumble panel  https://wiki.natenom...handbuch/mumble/mumble_network_settings.png In the textbox under the Proxy, input the hostname and port you found in the socks proxy website.  You might have to try acouple before it will work. 

 

I had to enable the Force TCP option AND disable image download before it would work.  But for some reason the checkbox was greyed out when I changed the proxy connection from direct connect to SOCKS.  I had to first select direct connect, then checkbox Force TCP, and then change the Proxy to SOCKS. 

 

It might be troubling to find a port number less than 1024, as historically those numbers are reserved for system services.  But it could be worth a shot.

Wait I'm looking at this and I didn't mean 64k. I mean't 640k or I'm reading the 1024 wrong. I can use my mumble just fine and its port is 20790. I'm right with 64k. Cause that means 64000. Right. So I honestly don't understand why we'd have to go as low as 1024. But I could definitely try this whole SOCKS proxy thing.

Update: as an experiment we're also running from port 999. Let me know if that helps ;-)

Just tried to connect to mumble and it's not working. Haven't tried the socks proxy thing.

Archiving. Please submit another form if you would like to bump this idea.


It's been fun, thanks for the ride.
