Installation / Mise a jour & Documentation

Executez ceci sur votre VPS en tant que root et remplacez le jeton par votre propre jeton du panneau :

Getting Started

Ports requis

Les ports suivants doivent etre ouverts (Tout autoriser / Entrant + Sortant) dans le pare-feu de votre VPS pour que VPBoost fonctionne :

Action Protocole Plage de ports Objectif
Autoriser TCP/UDP 27000 – 29000 Game server ports, master server heartbeats & challenges, player traffic.
Autoriser TCP 8069 VPBoost Agent API.
Autoriser TCP 443 HTTPS API calls to counter-strike-boost.com.
Important : L'installateur n'ouvre que TCP 8069. Vous devez ouvrir la plage de ports du jeu vous-meme.
Configuration

Fichier Env de l'agent

Emplacement du fichier env principal :

/etc/agent/vpboost/vpboost-agent.env

Toutes les valeurs de ce fichier sont chargees par systemd dans le processus de l'agent. Le binaire Redirects en herite lorsque l'agent le demarre.

Variable Par defaut Utilise par Objectif
VPBOOST_REDIRECT_TICKET_MODE true Agent Adds -ticket arg when launching redirects.
VPBOOST_TICKET_DEBUG 0 Redirects Verbose ticket/auth debug logs.
VPBOOST_A2S_DEBUG 0 Redirects Verbose A2S player/debug logs.
VPBOOST_QUIET 1 Redirects Reduces console noise.
VPBOOST_SCREEN_LOGS 0 Agent Enables screen session log files.

Configurer Env avec une commande

Profil d'exemple pour le mode debug + journaux d'ecran persistants :

cat <<'EOF' > /etc/agent/vpboost/vpboost-agent.env
VPBOOST_REDIRECT_TICKET_MODE=true
VPBOOST_TICKET_DEBUG=1
VPBOOST_A2S_DEBUG=1

Reference

Journaux en direct / Enquete sur les pannes

Commandes les plus utiles :

# service logs
journalctl -u vpboost-agent -f

# redirect screen logs (chunk mode)
tail -f /root/vpboost/screen_red-all-1.log

# list active screen sessions
screen -ls
Si screen_red-all-1.log n'apparait pas, definissez VPBOOST_SCREEN_LOGS=1 et redemarrez le service.

Flux de source de configuration

1
install.sh creates initial files and systemd service.
2
vpboost-agent.env is loaded by systemd on service start.
3
Agent reads env defaults from config.go if var missing.
4
Agent starts Redirects; Redirects inherits env and reads getenv().
5
Redirects fetches runtime data from API endpoints (/api/getredirectconfig, /api/getports).

Players are never told your server is full

Your redirects could report themselves as full, and a player who tried to join was turned away before they ever reached your server.

A redirect now always keeps a place open, so players can join whatever the server you point at is doing. That is the whole point of a redirect: it collects players and passes them on.

The slot count shown in server browsers now matches the one you configured.

Players are shared evenly between your servers

If your redirects point at more than one server, players are now spread
evenly across them instead of one server taking almost all of them.

The shared redirect option is accurate too. The share you pick is the share you
actually get.

A server that is offline or full is skipped, and its players go to the next one.

Upgrading needs one restart of your redirects.

August 29, 2026 12:20 UTC

Target servers update without a restart

Your redirects used to read their target list once when they started and never
look again, so a change to where players should go only took effect the next
time you restarted them.

They now pick changes up on their own, within seconds.

Nobody gets dropped. Players already connected stay on the server they are
playing on, and only new players follow the new list.

Nothing extra runs on your VPS, and if we are unreachable your previous list
keeps serving.

Upgrading needs one restart of your redirects. That is the last one this will
cost you.

Failed reinstalls no longer look like nothing happened

A reinstall that failed on your VPS used to leave no trace. Your machine kept
running the old version and the panel had nothing to show, so a failed install
and a slow one looked exactly the same.

Reinstalls now report their result, and the VPS page shows the error when one
fails instead of leaving you guessing.

Commands that had already been delivered no longer show as pending forever.

Firewall now reports what it blocks

Your firewall has always dropped blocked traffic. Until now it did so silently,
so the panel could show what was configured but never what it actually stopped.

Blocked traffic is now measured and charted. The Firewall page shows what was
stopped across your protected network over the last 24 hours, split by reason.
An empty chart now honestly means nothing matched your filters, which is
different from having no data at all.

Nothing about how traffic is filtered changed in this release, only that the
filtering is now visible. Upgrading is optional.

Stability and connection fixes

A group of stability fixes for the redirect process and for how player
connections are handled. Updating is strongly recommended.

If your redirects have been restarting on their own, if players have been
dropped mid-session, or if someone has reported being unable to reconnect to
one of your ports, this release addresses it.

Filtering and connection handling were tightened at the same time.

Redirect stability fix and full join logs

Fixed a case where a redirect process could stop on its own while handling an
unusual player name. It now handles those safely and keeps running.

The console join feed is no longer cut to the last few lines, so you can read
the full history, and the agent log now marks each start and stop.

Process controls for large port ranges

You can now choose how your redirects are split into processes, and how large
each group is, so a big port range can be tuned to your VPS instead of using one
fixed layout.

Startup reporting was improved, so a port that fails to open is visible in your
panel instead of failing quietly, and redirects now survive running short of
system resources rather than stopping.

Reliability, health alerts, and cleaner redirect runtime

  • Added runtime reliability for /api/newplayer delivery (retry + fallback endpoint flow).
  • Added runtime failure metrics collection (send/dns) and watchdog-triggered restart behavior for red-all under persistent failures.

  • Reduced noisy logs and added quiet-by-default runtime mode.
  • Improved Steam ticket flow observability and multi-port behavior handling for redirected players.
