One case documented on the MQL5 forum shows this clearly. A trader could reach port 443 from their VPS with no trouble, so the internet was obviously working. Yet the broker&#8217;s own trading port failed every time, with every broker they tried. The platform was fine, and the network was fine. The data centre IP range was the problem, and nothing in the terminal said so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DedicatedCore and DomainRacer find problems by layer, not by the symptom you see.

Both had also survived several rebuilds that changed nothing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>DedicatedCore&#8217;s Expert Answers to Forex VPS Troubleshooting Questions<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>My MetaTrader says no connection, but the internet works. What now?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We test the broker&#8217;s trading port before anything else, because it is the most common VPS-specific failure and the one most guides miss. General browsing uses port 443, which almost always works. Brokers use their own ports, and those are often filtered on data centre IP ranges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Run a TCP connect test to the broker server address and port from the VPS. If 443 responds and the broker port does not, reinstalling MetaTrader will never fix it, and neither will a rebuild. It needs a different address or a route change, which is a provider job.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Should I reboot or rebuild when something breaks?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We treat a rebuild as the last option rather than the first, because it resolves the ticket and destroys the evidence. Traders on hosts that rebuild by default report the same failure months apart without ever learning the cause.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A reboot is reasonable once you have captured the Journal extract and the resource readings. Rebuild only after the layer is identified and a clean install is genuinely needed. A provider suggesting a rebuild before any diagnosis is optimising for queue time rather than your strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How do I know whether the problem is my host or my broker?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We start by logging in from a second machine on a different connection, which is the fastest way to split the two. Working elsewhere and failing on the VPS points to the server or its network path. Failing in both places points to the broker or the account.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The follow-up test is another broker from the same VPS. If every broker fails, it is the server or its IP range. If one broker fails while others connect, it is that broker&#8217;s infrastructure. Two tests, five minutes, and you know which support queue to join. If the cause turns out to be an attack on the path, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dedicatedcore.com\/blog\/initial-ddos-attack-response-sop\">our response starts before the ticket does<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Fix the Layer, Not the Symptom in Forex VPS Troubleshooting<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Troubleshooting fails when the terminal shows what it experienced, not what actually happened. A blocked port reads as no connection, contention reads as a slow EA, and a missed reboot reads as a broken strategy. Testing the four layers in order costs five minutes and removes most of the guesswork. Where the underlying limits sit is covered in the resource sizing guide and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dedicatedcore.com\/blog\/forex-vps-0-2ms-latency-exposed\">the latency measurement guide<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So capture evidence before you change anything. Journal extract, resource readings, broker port test, timestamps. DedicatedCore and DomainRacer diagnose by layer, keep the evidence rather than rebuilding over it, and configure auto-recovery at provisioning, with a 30-day trial and no setup fees. Fix the layer, not the symptom, because the symptom will find a new way to appear.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Troubleshooting often starts in the wrong place, because the symptom and the cause sit on different layers.
