Running a Palworld dedicated server means opening the right ports. Get one wrong and players can’t connect, or your admin tools won’t work. This guide lists every port a Palworld server uses, what each is for, and how to check they’re open.<\/p>\n

8211\/UDP is the only one strictly required to play. Open 25575 \/ 8212 only if you use RCON or the REST API for administration.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The game port (8211)<\/h2>\n

Palworld’s dedicated server listens on UDP 8211<\/strong> by default. This is the port players use to join. If you self-host, forward 8211\/UDP on your router to the server machine and allow it through the firewall. You can change it with the -port=<\/code> launch argument, but most setups leave it at 8211.<\/p>\n

Admin ports: RCON and REST API<\/h2>\n

Remote administration uses separate ports, enabled in PalWorldSettings.ini<\/code>:<\/p>\n
