Cant access ark container externally

[kubernetes]

I set up an ark server on GKE using these instructions (https://guido.appenzeller.net/2018/09/12/how-to-run-an-ark-survival-evolved-private-server-on-google...)
It all seems to work and it has an External-IP, ping works, but I cant connect to the port. Is there anything I should check?

Is your deployment actually running?

Hi,

Make sure that you already created a firewall rule allowing your port in your network. Use this link[1] to guide you to create a firewall rule. Also make sure that you are accessing it through the service IP port number of your Load Balancer.

Also check if your server is listening to this port. I found this command “netstat -an” from this link[2] wherein the used server is ark server and the problem is the port is not listening. If the port is not listening, access is prohibited.
