Hi!
Installation:

Dedicated Ubuntu 22.04 server
Ports 6969 6970 6971 25565 22 are open on the server
STP + FIKA in a docker container with Expose ports
My friend and I are on different networks
UPnP is enabled on routers

Problem description:
The connection to the server is correct, we get into the game
On the client side, port 25565 Force IP is specified in the FIKA Core plugin settings. The IP of the dedicated server is specified. When connecting, it gives the error "It is impossible to connect, check the ports and settings"
If you specify the host IP in the Forse IP settings, the situation repeats with the same error.
Can you tell me what the problem might be?

Versions:
SPT 3.8.1
Fika 0.9.8944

All necessary plugins are installed on the client, the versions are the same

clear your Force IP setting, just leave it blank

#

by default Fika resolves the public ip of the internet connection of the machine of the user who clicked HOST RAID and instructs anyone joining to join on that public IP address. Force IP is there in case you want to force it to join on another ip address of said machine, for instance if you were using a VPN. since you have the centralized server on a ~~VPS~~ dedicated server you will need to use port forwarding or UPnP for your clients to host raids, so just leave it blank

#

you can use #udp-tester to test whether your upnp/port forwarding is working

#

25565 does not need to be open on the server machine

mellow nimbus by default Fika resolves the public ip of the internet connection of the machine...

Thanks!
I'll try your recommendations.
For understanding, you can explain, if it is not difficult, how the connection to the host is made, and synchronization in 2 words. I didn't find any information about this in the documentation.

the central server, aki.server.exe (or the docker container) is really just there to synchronize profiles, distribute things like item info, and then inform clients on how they can connect to one another. it doesn't have nearly anything to do with the P2P connection between the raid host and the clients that connect, that connection is done directly without hte server in between.

I launched a raid on 2 players and some details appeared
Port 25565 is not listening, although Fika has notified that the server is running on port 25565

firewall or other unspecified networking issue. try #udp-tester for testing.

I'm sorry for the stupid question.
Should I check the port with which client or server tester?
In case the problem is on the client side
