Frequently Asked Questions
TCP and UDP both?
Yes. BeamMP expects both protocols on the configured Port (default 30814).
Can I change the port?
Yes via ServerConfig.toml Port — then use the matching Pterodactyl allocation.
Managed customers forward at home?
No. Use the panel IP:port; Chapter22 already publishes the allocation.
