This'll make communication a little easier
So first up, if disabling one of those firewalls isn't an option, let's handle Windows Defender. https://foundryvtt.com/article/port-forwarding/ follow the instructions at the bottom of that page to access your Windows firewall rules. Then delete all the existing ones for Foundry. Then right click your start menu icon, click on "PowerShell (Admin)", and enter the following
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName 'Foundry Port' -Profile 'Any' -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 30000
This will create a generic rule for Foundry to use port 30000. Then check if that resolves it

That did not work.

As in local connections still fail?
next tendon
yes
Im not sure where the issue is. if done it windows firewall and my AV. I dont know what to do.
i can use the local invite on my computer but thats it
verbal vessel
The only other thing I can think of is to disable your AV, but that's not really advice I can give 😆
next tendon
well i decided on my on accord that i will disable my firewall for 5 seconds and that worked
verbal vessel
Probably an issue with that then
next tendon
so i figured out the issue. I had my network as untrusted for some reason.
but now the invite looks weird
verbal vessel
Yikes
Enter your admin password in the bottom box, then click the bottom button. Is everything else like that?

Mind DMing me your public invitation link so we can rule out an issue on your PC?
Or you can try accessing it with a phone on data
next tendon
say "Type error: failed to fetch"
verbal vessel
98% of the time that's due to less than 4GB of free space on your boot drive. Do you have more than that available?
next tendon
102 gb so im good
verbal vessel
Try restarting Foundry and seeing if it looks better then. if not then we'll dig deeper
next tendon
so i ran it on opra gl and it gives me the above issue. I try running it on chrome, it says the site can not be reached
verbal vessel
What link are you using? The public or local network one?
next tendon
public
verbal vessel
Ok, that's probably why. Most consumer grade routers can't access themselves like that (hairpin NAT), hence that not working. If you use the public invitation link on a phone on data, does it load up? ETA This is assuming you're testing it on the computer you're running it on

k thats it. if i take my phone off the wifi then everything works right. Thanks for all the help
