Cant join my friends community server at times, different wifi networks is main issue

[elibud]

Normally when I am at my friend's house I am able to join his server no problem. However when I try to play at home I cant connect at all. I noticed that this was due to me being on a different wifi network, so I was just wondering if anyone knew a way to fix the issue of not being able to connect on different networks. Thank you for your time and help

it's not entirely clear, are you trying to connect to a friend's server or through an invitation code?

Join his server through an ip not an invitation

Other players can connect? You need connected to him through external IP. And your friend must setup power forwarding on his router

So is the external ip different than the normal one, and where would I find it? I don’t know if he even has access to his router but I can ask

You can ask the hosting player to go to basicaly any ip reveal website like this one;

And ask him to communicate his ipv4 ^^

Oh, then you can try to use the host code when NOT using dedicated server (host have to press esc key to see the code)

But i'm not 100% sure it will work either.

Usually it require a little acces to port forwarding when you want to host basicaly any kind of server.

The only solutions i have in mind is to either rent a serv or ask someone else in your group to host from an accessible router ^^

Yep vpn, hamashi or soft of the like can't work with UE5 games using epic game servers to log. That only work when you use a direct ip connection method, wich palworld curently don't allow :/
Both host and client need to use and play through internet (not LAN or virtual LAN) cause the epic servers act as middlemen for establishing connexion and to push some data that none of host nor client have.
