    i make a game use photon and write my own server (not use photon cloud) and it run ok in local net(like server ip : 192.168.1.2:5055). but when i use public ip, client can not connect to server. i already use 花生壳 to make port map and i can access my web server use public ip, but photon still can not connected.
    my game is interesting, who can tell me how to configure my photon.
    thanks!

    While you can setup Photon to listen just to one port/network, it's usually accepting incoming messages from either net. So there is no setup needed for that.
    You need to setup port forwarding for several ports though. Check the list of the requirements:
    http://doc.exitgames.com/en/onpremise/current/getting-started/requirements

    If you use the LoadBalancing API, you will need to setup the "Game Server Address" to the public ip/port.
    If this doesn't help, please post in our forum in the server section:

    :)
    That's a new one for me. I would have said that even the public IP should be within reach for a client of the same net.
    Glad you found it! Thanks for the update.

    i think key is
    all these ports

    UDP: 5055, 5056, 5057
    TCP: 4530, 4531, 4532 (TCP based clients)
    TCP: 9090, 9091, 9092 (websocket clients e.g. JS)
    TCP: 4520 for LoadBalancing GameServer to Master
    TCP: 843 for crossdomain requests (Unity3D webplayers and Flash)
    TCP: 943 for crossdomain requests (Silverlight)
    TCP: 8088 for Webpage
    UDP: 40001 listener for counters

    Port forwarding

    PPOE net if server is in you home

    and same net use public ip will failed
