Which Ports Does a FiveM Server Use covers a common FiveM server setup, administration, development or troubleshooting task.
This Chapter22 guide is written for FiveM servers hosted on a game panel, VPS or dedicated server. Back up server.cfg, resources, txData and the database before major changes.
Read the first meaningful console error, identify the affected resource or dependency, and change one variable at a time.
Common Network Ports
| Service | Example | Protocol |
|---|---|---|
| FiveM endpoint | 30120 | TCP + UDP |
| txAdmin | 40120 | TCP |
Home servers usually require router forwarding. VPS/dedicated servers with routed public IPs normally require host/provider firewall rules instead.
