    Skynet Remote is just the name of my local network for fun.

    When the Connection Test does work, it does close port 1802 quickly.

    I do not see port 1802 running after loading the campaign.

    Can you connect to your game server from another computer on the same network? They may have changed something in the networking engine and the port doesnt continually advertise itself any more?

    No, I can't even connect locally via localhost, or using my local IP address.

    I don't know how they'd do that and still get incoming connections.

    Anyway, mine is shown listening on port 1802 when FG is running:

    Code:
    PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 1802
    
    LocalAddress                        LocalPort RemoteAddress                       RemotePort State       AppliedSetting
    ------------                        --------- -------------                       ---------- -----       --------------
    0.0.0.0                             1802      0.0.0.0                             0          Listen

    So, if you have one instance of your FG running - with a campaign fully loaded up. Then you start another instance on the same computer and "Join Game" with a server name of localhost it doesn't connect?

    If so, then there is something on your computer that is blocking FG - check and double check that any security/anti-virus software allows connections on TCP port 1802 and allows FantasyGrounds.exe to access the network. Don't rely on just shutting these apps down - they very often still have some level of protection. If you already have the above port and .exe exceptions/allowances set, remove them and add them again.

    Finally found what was causing the issue. Both Wiresharks Loopback adapter and adapters created by Vmware Workstation seem to have caused some conflict. While it might be nice to figure out how to get them to work together, I can live without them in favor of FG working!

    I was able to use PureVPN in China about 4 months ago (last time I was there). I used it routinely for years. Every once and a while China makes the GFW even harder to get past, and no VPNs work. This is usually when there are the congress meetings in Beijing. It is possible that with the issues in Hong Kong they may be making is harder again. I will check.
