Hi Jan,
Many European residents do not get access to an individual public IPv4 address.
Looking at your results you will be best trying Hamachi, ZeroTier or PureVPN.
The first two are free and you and the players will need to install and join the same network.
PureVPN costs but only the GM needs to use it.
Hi damned,
thanks for your reply. If PureVPN is only needed by the GM, that's what I'm going for.
At the check out of the PureVPN order process I can select these optional options: Attachment 27521
Do I need the fixed IP (second option)?
Hi Cptn
There is one or more very good purevpn threads on these forums.
I would check there first - and repost your question there if you cant find the exact answer.
I personally have not used this particular VPN (but it is the most reliable one for using with FG).
Someone there might also tell you how to get a discount on your purchase - I think if you let it sit in the basket for 15mins and then leave the page it offers you a discount or something like that...?
But yes - you do need one of the add-on options - Im just not sure which.
They currently have a special anniversary offer so I took that with the dedicated ip address option. After starting the PureVPN app and select the dedicated ip area, I could click on connect and received a new ip. FG recognized this ip automatically and the connection test succeeded.
Sooo much reading forum posts -.- Thanks everybody! <3
Yep, that's the options you need.Quote:

7. Confirmation as to what you have setup in your Router if changes have been made Attachment 27611
I am truly at a loss as to why this is not passing the connection test. I have placed some image files in here of the information requested. Any help getting me connected on my new pc would be amazing. Thanks in advance
Bukkyo
All of that looks correct.
Please reboot your Router and retest.
Just rebooted router/modem and still failed test
bukkyo do you have another computer in the house?
try and connect that computer to your LAN IP 192.168.1.50
if that fails then the issue is on your windows firewall or AV or network profile
if that works then the issue is on your router or at your ISPs end
Looking at various web posts, the "external host" entry might be Any, 0.0.0.0 or even blank. This FG GM was having an issue and changed it to be nothing (completely blank) and it worked: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...-st5260-router
If that doesn’t work, and you have a spare computer, do the test damned suggested.
