Server at OVH: allow the proxy in the Network Firewall

If your FiveM server (the backend) is hosted at OVH and its IP’s Network Firewall is enabled, it blocks traffic coming from the FIVEMSHIELD proxy. Your players then can’t connect.

The portal recalls the steps in the Backend hosted at OVH? block of the Get started tab:

1. The steps:
   1. Open OVH Manager → your server → IP → Network Firewall tab
   2. Add a rule with a high priority (e.g. 1), placed before general “Deny” rules
   3. Configure it as in the screenshot, then enable it
2. Example: an Allow rule for the proxy IPs, priority 1

The rule to create

Field	Value
Priority	1 (or the lowest available)
Action	Allow
Protocol	IPv4
Source IP	31.58.68.0/24

Tip

The OVH Network Firewall allows 20 rules per IP. If you already filter some ports (Deny TCP 3306, 40120…), keep those rules after the proxy allow rule.

Note

This rule only allows the FIVEMSHIELD proxy infrastructure: your players go through the proxy, your server only receives filtered traffic.

Server not at OVH? Just make sure your host’s firewall (or ufw/iptables on the server) lets in connections from the ranges listed in sv_proxyIPRanges.
