These setting will setup a standard 32 slot max server for you to use.

If you have a NPL License, you will need to upload it to the root of

ts3server and restart the server. You will also need to add your main

server ip to the query ip whitelist.

Default ports to open are as follows...

Default voice port (UDP): 9987
Default filetransfer port (TCP): 30033
Default serverquery port (TCP): 10011

These can be opened via ssh in iptables

iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 9987 -j ACCEPT

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 30033 -j ACCEPT

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 10011 -j ACCEPT
/etc/init.d/iptables save

/etc/init.d/iptables restart

iptables -L    to confirm your ports are in fact open
