Port :23073Soldat Dedicated

Soldat is a fast-paced, side-scrolling, 2D multiplayer action game attracting a dedicated community since its early 2000s release. To enable multiplayer functionality, Soldat relies on dedicated servers that coordinate player connections, transmit game state updates, and synchronize events like shooting, movement, and scoring. The port 23073 is traditionally used by Soldat’s dedicated server software to handle this game-specific traffic from client connections.

Running a Soldat dedicated server typically involves accepting incoming requests from players who connect using the game's client application. Due to its unofficial nature, this port's use is established primarily by community convention rather than formal allocation in the IANA port registry. Network administrators hosting Soldat servers often enable this port inbound to facilitate player joins and outbound to maintain gameplay responsiveness.

Normally, Soldat servers use UDP communication for lower latency, but the specific version or server configuration may toggle between UDP and TCP depending on network setup or firewall constraints. Hosting requires careful configuration to limit lag, such as port forwarding, quality of service (QoS) policies, and potential packet prioritization within local and cloud network environments.
