FiveM Connection Timed Out – Fix Port 30120 & Firewall

FiveM "Connection timed out" or "Failed to connect"? Port 30120 TCP/UDP, firewall panel, license key, server endpoint – step by step.

Game servers

Quick answer: FiveM timeout = port 30120 unreachable (90%). Check panel allocations + provider firewall, valid license key, server fully started.

If you landed here: "Connection timed out", "Failed to connect", "Server is loading" hangs or cfx.re/join link doesn't work.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

FiveM connection timed out – what first?
Open port 30120 TCP+UDP in game server panel AND at host. Not just UFW. Server must show "Authenticated" in txAdmin.
Failed to connect after server move?
New license key for new IP at keymaster.fivem.net. Update connect cfx.re/join/xxxx in server list.
Only I can't join?
Clear FiveM cache (%localappdata%/FiveM), test other player. For you: firewall/antivirus, disable VPN.
