    They use the ip address assigned to the FG host computer to connect. See attached screenshot. They use the "managed ip" which is the internal ip address assigned by zerotier. It is not going to match the internal or external ip address on the FG host launch screen so don't worry about that. If you watch my video (link in Post #1 above), you will see where I copy the ip address from. If you have any issues, let me know. Most likely it is allowing zerotier as a program in your firewall.

    Oh.. and welcome to the forum! Great people here....

    Awesome. Definitely test it out before you play but if you run into ANY issues, let me know and I'll try to help. Its worked really well as I have tested it with others. Just make sure to have the zero tier program whitelisted on your firewall. Happy Gaming!

    PureVPN and Hamachi avoid port forwarding as well.
    Ultimate License. Running Hyperborea and CoC. Asks lots of questions. Mgpotter.com. PureVPN is a tested solution to run games when traveling. https://billing.purevpn.com/aff.php?aff=33044

    One of my players expressed some security concerns regarding the use of ZeroTier (specifically, he was concerned that other network members could access his computer over the shared network) so I put together some Fantasy Grounds-specific Flow Rules to isolate the clients from one-another - these are based on the article here: https://blog.reconinfosec.com/locking-down-zerotier/

    Code:
    # Allow only IPv4 and IPv4 ARP Ethernet frames.
    #
    drop
    	not ethertype ipv4
    	and not ethertype arp
    ;
    
    #
    # Uncomment to drop non-ZeroTier issued and managed IP addresses.
    #
    # This prevents IP spoofing but also blocks manual IP management at the OS level and
    # bridging unless special rules to exempt certain hosts or traffic are added before
    # this rule.
    #
    drop
    	not chr ipauth
    ;
    
    # Only permit clients to communicate with the Fantasy Grounds host.
    accept
      ipprotocol tcp
    		and ipdest [IP address]/32 		# ZeroTier IP address of the FG host.
    		and dport 1802                          # Default port for Fantasy Grounds.
    ;
    
    # Drop TCP SYN,!ACK packets (new connections) not explicitly whitelisted above.
    break
      chr tcp_syn             # TCP SYN (TCP flags will never match non-TCP packets)
      and not chr tcp_ack     # AND not TCP ACK
    ;
    
    # Accept anything else. This is required since default is 'drop'.
    accept;
    Change [IP address] to the ZeroTier IP address of your FG host (and remove the square brackets). Access control needs to be set to 'Private' and network members need to be authorised for them to be able to connect to Fantasy Grounds. Make a backup copy of the default rules (copy them into a text document) before changing them just in case it all goes FUBAR.

    Additionally if you dont use the above rules turn off the network when not using it. Same with Hamachi.

    I just tested this and am so happy to discover it got me connected! After the frustration of trying to get port forwarding to work, I'm really happy that this seems to have done the job. Thank you!

    Do you know if there are any issues for people using different systems? I'm on a Windows laptop, as is my wife, but another player is on a Mac. Have you heard of any problems? Regardless, thanks for this!

    I think it should work just fine with a Mac too.
