So it says this BYOND hub reports port 8779 can be reached by players. Whenever I try to host but whenever I try to join with BYOND Pager it says Connection Failed.
Sorry if this is in the wrong place

So the issue is that your router is too dumb for you.
the router sends traffic coming from the internet to the forwarded ip, and traffic coming from the network to the internet. It's not smart enough to know how to handle traffic that is both of those, traffic coming from the network to your internet ip. basically, while connected locally you won't be able to connect with the game server's internet ip, because the router doesn't know how to handle internal traffic that needs to be forwarded, it only forwards internet traffic. if you connect using the ip you forwarded to (the 10.* or 192.* ip) it should work for you (but not other people), and the hub links won't work for you (they will for other people) | |
You need to open the port and specify the local IP address of your machine on the network to port forward properly.
