I’m running a Contabo VPS on Windows Server 2016 and want it reachable from the outside for two purposes at once: the World of Warcraft repack (game ports) and the accompanying website (HTTP/HTTPS). Contabo is also my domain registrar, so all DNS changes will be made inside their customer panel. What I still need done today, while my project partner is online to test in real time, is: • Configure Windows Firewall + any Contabo networking rules so the required game ports and web ports are open. • Create the proper A-records (and, if needed, AAAA) in Contabo’s DNS manager that point the domain to the VPS. • Make sure web traffic reaches IIS/Apache (currently installed) on ports 80 and 443, and the WoW services on their default ports (3306, 8085, 3724, etc.). • Verify from an external machine that both the site and the game login work without using the raw IP. Everything has to be wrapped up within 24 hours, including a quick walkthrough so I can reproduce the steps later. Remote access will be given via RDP or AnyDesk—whichever you prefer. this is for wow private server what you bid is what i pay you thank you

Hi. To get your Contabo Windows Server 2016 VPS reachable for both the WoW services and the website, I’ll configure Windows Firewall, confirm the needed Contabo network rules, and map your domain cleanly through Contabo DNS. I’ll make sure IIS/Apache answers on 80 and 443, and that the game services are exposed on the correct ports without relying on the raw IP. I’ll also verify everything from an external machine while your partner is online, so we can test login and web access in real time. As a Senior Backend Engineer, I have mastered Windows Server, DNS, firewall routing, IIS/Apache, and VPS networking, and have strong experience in game server and web hosting setups. I am sure I can deliver high-quality results within 24 hours for a clean handoff and walkthrough. Let’s get in touch and discuss more. Thanks.

Hi, I can help you finish this within today. I have experience with Windows Server VPS, firewall/network configuration, DNS setup, and game server deployments. I can open all required ports (3724, 8085, 3306, 80, 443), configure Contabo DNS records, test external connectivity, and make sure both your WoW private server and website work correctly without raw IP. I can start immediately while your partner is online for live testing. A few quick questions: Are you using IIS or Apache for the website? Is the WoW repack already running locally on the VPS? Do you have both RDP and Contabo panel access ready? My bid: $70

The numbers above are rough placeholders; we'll firm up the final price after a quick look at what's already running on the server. You've got a Contabo VPS on Windows Server 2016 that needs to serve two things at the same time: a WoW repack (game ports for auth and world) and a website through IIS or Apache. Right now neither is reachable from outside because the firewall layers and DNS aren't wired up yet. The goal is simple: your partner types the domain name, the game client connects, and the site loads over HTTPS, all without touching the raw IP. Here's how we'd tackle it: - Windows Firewall: Open inbound rules for game ports (3306, 8085, 3724 and any repack-specific extras) plus web ports 80 and 443. Contabo also runs a network-level firewall above the OS, so we'll check their control panel for matching rules there too. - DNS setup: Create A-records in Contabo's DNS manager pointing your domain (and any subdomain like the wow login host) to the VPS public IP, with a low TTL so changes propagate fast while testing. - Web routing: Confirm port 80/443 traffic hits IIS or Apache correctly, with the right site binding or virtual host in place so the domain doesn't just land on a default placeholder page. - Game services: Check that the repack's auth server (3724) and world server (8085) are listening on 0.0.0.0 rather than loopback only, then test the login from an external machine live with your partner. - Walkthrough: Go through every change step by step over RDP or AnyDesk so you can reproduce it independently when needed. After a short scope chat we'll put together a written breakdown covering exactly what was done and final pricing.

A fully accessible WoW private server and website where your players connect seamlessly via your domain, without any "connection failed" errors or raw IP dependencies. I will handle the entire Contabo configuration—from the Windows Server 2016 Firewall to the DNS A-records—ensuring that both your web traffic (80/443) and game services (3306, 8085, 3724) are perfectly routed. Here is the DFY plan: 1. Configure Windows Firewall and Contabo network rules to open all required game and web ports. 2. Map your domain via Contabo DNS manager using precise A/AAAA records. 3. Validate external connectivity for both the website and the WoW login. 4. Provide a recorded walkthrough so you can manage these settings independently. Within the first 2 hours of starting, you will have your domain pointing to the server with web traffic flowing. I have extensive experience managing VPS networking and DNS routing for high-availability services. I am available to jump on RDP/AnyDesk immediately to ensure this is wrapped up within your 24-hour window. Ready to start now?

Hi, I can help configure your Contabo Windows Server 2016 VPS so both the WoW server and website are accessible externally through your domain. I have experience with Windows Server administration, firewall configuration, DNS management, IIS/Apache hosting, and VPS networking. I can review the current setup, open and verify the required ports, configure Windows Firewall rules, check Contabo networking settings, and ensure traffic is correctly reaching both the website and game services. For DNS, I'll configure the necessary A records (and AAAA if IPv6 is being used) within the Contabo control panel, verify domain resolution, and test connectivity using the domain rather than the server IP. The work will include: • Windows Firewall configuration • Port verification and troubleshooting • DNS setup in Contabo • IIS/Apache accessibility on ports 80/443 • Verification of game service connectivity • External testing and troubleshooting • Short walkthrough/documentation for future reference I understand you need this completed while your partner is available for live testing, so I'm comfortable working via RDP or AnyDesk and resolving issues in real time.

Hey — this is right in my wheelhouse as someone who manages VPS environments and DNS configurations regularly. I've set up and maintained servers across DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, and AWS, including Windows Server instances, so the Contabo side of this won't be unfamiliar territory. The fact that you need both the WoW game ports (3724, 8085, 3306) and web traffic (80/443) working through the same box with proper DNS tells me this isn't just a firewall checkbox exercise — it's making sure the Windows Firewall inbound rules, any Contabo-level security group settings, and the DNS A-records all line up so nothing blocks the other. I've done this exact kind of multi-service port setup on VPS boxes before, where one misconfigured rule or a missing DNS record means the game client connects but the website doesn't, or vice versa. Here's what you'd get out of this: First, everything verified from the outside — not just "ports are open" but confirmed working from an external machine, both the site loading over your domain and the game login connecting without needing the raw IP. I won't call it done until your project partner can actually connect and confirm on their end. Second, a clean walkthrough doc when we're done. Not a novel — just the specific steps: which firewall rules were created, what the DNS records look like, and how to reproduce or modify them later if you add another service or change ports. You mentioned wanting to be able to repeat the steps yourself, so I'll make sure that's covered. Third, I work fast and I lean on some AI tooling in my workflow to make sure nothing gets missed in the configuration. Given your 24-hour window and your partner being online to test in real time, speed matters here — I can jump on RDP or AnyDesk as soon as you're ready and knock this out in a single session. I've been doing server and infrastructure work for over 10 years alongside full-stack development, so if anything unexpected comes up — IIS binding conflicts, Apache virtual host issues, MySQL needing its bind address adjusted — I can handle that on the spot without needing to bring in someone else. Happy to hop on a quick call first if you want to walk me through the current state of the server, or I can jump straight into RDP and get started today. Either way works.
