IMPACT has submitted a ticket

Versions: Fika 1.2.7 - Fika Server 2.4.7 - Headless 1.3.6 - SPT 3.11.3
Networking: VPN Radmin
Description: I set up a Headless FIKA on my Lan, Proxmox Win 11 VM. (No firewall on proxmox machine)
I can join the server over the Radmin IP (over LAN) and host and play a headless session without problem.
My friend also in the radmin network can join the server, but not join a running session or host a headless session (hes connecting over internet).
It always shows the "port" error message.
We tried the UDP tester, on all 3 machines (tryed server and host exe on all machines in all 3 directions) and connection on UDP port 25565 always resulted in "hello client".
We also used the fika tool who implements the firewall settings for these ports. Nothing woks.
We also tried the F12 ingame network settings, for force and bind IP, with and without UPNP.
We tryed the "allow all apps" in radmin.
In fika.jsonc i put the radmin ip of the server in "ip", "backendIp" and "forceIp".
We tryed for at least 4 hours and cant get it to work.
Appreciate your help. thx

Open your headless client bepinex/config/com.fika.core.cfg and scroll to the network section and post a screenshot of the network settings.

All quest checkmarks has been known to cause issues for clients btw. You also have a lot of plugins on the headless that are not necessary for it and may create issues. Don't remove anything unless you see problems.
