Connection issues

If you're having trouble connecting to multiple game servers, you may have a misconfigured/faulty router or be behind CG-NAT.
Replacing the router or contacting your ISP regarding CG-NAT could fix these issues.

Your ISP could suffer temporary routing issues or other connection related issues.
In this case you need to contact your ISP and they have to fix the issues with their network.

The server you are connecting to may be blocking connections from certain networks (VPN, datacenters, etc) to prevent cheating.
Connecting via a different network, via your residential connection or disconnecting/change VPN exit could fix this issue.

If you are running the game server and game client on the same computer, then port 28960 will conflict.
To solve this issue run the game server on a different port (e.g 28961).

Forwarding/NAT

There are many different routers and methods to forward ports/NAT that no single guide will cover.

There is a site; https://portforward.com/ containing many guides for different routers and general instructions.
If you can't find a guide for your router, pick a guide for a model close to your router or follow a general default guide to get an idea.

Generally you want to open the listen port direction IN on protocol UDP with destination to your computer/server IP address and listen port.

If you are behind CG-NAT you will not be able to forward/open the game ports.

The backend parser "search" for certain sets keywords from the server config.
To have various details listed then include a properly formatted sets CVAR containing the right keyword in your server config file.

You can specify your sets CVARs with "styling" so it matches your existing sets CVARs.

Owner

This sets CVAR must contain one of the keywords owner or admin.
sets "Owner" "Jim"

Website

This sets CVAR must contain one of the keywords web, site or page.
sets "Website" "https://cod.pm"

TeamSpeak

This sets CVAR must contain the keyword teamspeak.
sets "TeamSpeak" "ts.dvotx.org"

Discord

This sets CVAR must contain the keyword discord.
sets "Discord" "https://discord.gg/<identifier>"

This site runs a backend script that parses all servers from the Activision masterlist approximately within 1 minute.
If your server is not listed in the Activision masterlist (or on a supported masterlist), it will also not be listed on this site.

The backend parser runs from a dedicated server in a datacenter network and connect from a random source port.
Ensure that you are not blocking or ratelimiting the backend parser by allowing the address 78.46.106.94/32 in your firewall/configuration.

This backend also support and parse servers from master.cod.pm and codmaster.comu-mvzg.com masterservers for Call of Duty version 1.1 and 1.5.
Follow this guide on how to add these and other masterservers to your gameserver config.

Servers filled with undetectable bots may be removed from the site.

All Call of Duty servers are "cracked" these days so a CD-Key is not required. By downloading the game from this site a CD-Key is not required.

However if you are running some sort of installer or for some reason require a CD-Key, you can generate a codkey file here to put in your game main folder.
The content of the codkey file can be entered as a CD-Key for the game.

You still also have the option to buy the game from Steam, where you will get game version 1.5.
The CD-Key is valid for all game versions and can be used with the downloads from this site.

By default all the columns are filtered by the text input. The search filter also support keywords to filter a specific column.
