Using a VPN but getting an error about opening ports when trying to host a raid?

Navigate to the Fika.Core plugin settings in your F12 configuration menu and scroll down to the Network header. Select your own VPN IP from the Force Bind IP dropdown selection box, then type that same exact IP in the Force IP box just above.

Although it should not matter when he connects to you - i'd rather make it clear right there.

After that - be sure he connects to your SPT server, be sure he sees you hosting a raid, after that - it's the question whether you did firewall or not.

In F12 port SHOULD be 25565, do not touch that if you use VPN.

We did try with them not touching anything on the F12 screen, had them reset it too just to make sure just now. I can see them Online menu but when I host they dont see me hosting. let me check firewall again
