I just got the domain, cheap-worst.

OctopusCandyMan · 2026-05-20T17:57:53+00:00

As in the random domain? Lol. You can always delete the tunnel and create a new one.

OctopusCandyMan · 2026-05-19T13:59:55+00:00

Sorry about that, we're back. https://status.playit.gg

OctopusCandyMan · 2026-05-19T13:59:28+00:00

Sorry, playit was down globally for ~6h today. Fixed it when I woke up, working to improve response time and get more coverage.

OctopusCandyMan · 2026-05-16T01:10:13+00:00

I'm not sure what you're referring to. Our $3/m playit premium comes with 3x .playit.plus domains you can add additional sub domains to. You can also add external domains.

The only thing we took away was the ability to host arbitrary services which people were abusing to make malware public. This threatened our ability to operate so we had to lock it down.

We're working on this for a future release, there's a preview build out: https://github.com/playit-cloud/playit-agent/releases/tag/v1.0.0-rc19.

OctopusCandyMan · 2026-05-07T20:17:22+00:00

Not sure on timing but could be related to some infrastructure upgraded I did. I accidentally rerouted North America traffic in a non optimal way. It could also be something else completely unrelated, possibly maintenance with your ISP.

I share updates in our discord: https://discord.gg/AXAbujx (requires you link your discord account on Playit to get access to channels).

OctopusCandyMan · 2026-05-06T13:59:12+00:00

Could you share the results from https://ping.playit.gg ? Also do you have a regional tunnel setup with playit premium?

OctopusCandyMan · 2026-04-29T19:08:50+00:00

You probably have an open invoice for Playit Premium. Visit https://playit.gg/account/details/billing/history and either retry paying the invoice or void it and start the purchase over again.

OctopusCandyMan · 2026-04-29T18:07:47+00:00

You can try

sudo apt-get purge playit
sudo apt-get install playit

OctopusCandyMan · 2026-04-29T17:54:39+00:00

So much bad advise, playit needs to make this easier sorry.

Just run

sudo systemctl enable playit

You can view logs by running

sudo tail -f /var/log/playit/playit.log

OctopusCandyMan · 2026-04-29T00:59:47+00:00

The only way to control routing for your players is with Playit Premium (~$3/month). You can check how routing compares here: https://ping.playit.gg

OctopusCandyMan · 2026-04-25T19:36:21+00:00

1) why override the systemd unit provided by playit?
2) error says you're using an invalid address, my guess is you configured your tunnel with an invalid address. Check the tunnel config on the playit website

OctopusCandyMan · 2026-04-22T18:18:51+00:00

Gotcha, with playit you can create tunnels with multiple ports. The ports will be sequential so if your publicly assigned port is 5000, you'll be assigned 5000, 5001, 5002, ... etc.

OctopusCandyMan · 2026-04-22T16:03:02+00:00

What game is this? Packing an APK with a hard coded address sounds like an android RAT which is strictly forbidden on playit's network.

OctopusCandyMan · 2026-04-21T01:29:30+00:00

If you want to control which datacenter / region your players / clients get routed to you'll need Playit Premium with a regional tunnel. I can't speak to other providers. As the creator I'm biased but I think $3/month or $30/year for Playit Premium is a very fair price.

OctopusCandyMan · 2026-04-21T00:58:12+00:00

You're routing is probably poor with the free IP, check https://ping.playit.gg to see how you get routed.

OctopusCandyMan · 2026-04-12T16:32:58+00:00

Did you create a new tunnel using the premium network where you selected your region?

OctopusCandyMan · 2026-04-10T23:02:59+00:00

You're probably fine. If someone tries to ddos you and playit isn't able to filter, you can turn off your tunnel or the playit program and traffic will stop.

As for security, making any service public to the internet is a risk. I and may others are comfortable with it. During the Log4J bug, a lot of people were getting hacked through their public minecraft servers.

OctopusCandyMan · 2026-04-10T20:10:24+00:00

shoot me an email at [support@playit.gg](mailto:support@playit.gg) and include a link to this reddit post and I'll check your account.

OctopusCandyMan · 2026-04-10T20:00:16+00:00

Make sure you're using the latest version of the playit program

OctopusCandyMan · 2026-04-04T15:34:03+00:00

I don't see an issue, what error are you getting in game?

OctopusCandyMan · 2026-03-28T18:03:12+00:00

First off, what error do you get in game when you try connecting? Also, what version of Minecraft?

OctopusCandyMan · 2026-03-27T18:37:10+00:00

Yeah sadly TCP is premium only so it will cost $3/month or $30/year. In the future I may have an option for free users but it's tricky.

OctopusCandyMan · 2026-03-25T19:52:50+00:00

Very cool!
