Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues

Description of the bug

so ive port frowarded properly according to the internet (mind you it was 2 different sites and it was the same steps) and i followed the tutorial video on the page and i cannot connect with a friend they cannot connect to my server script, it doesnt even register them looking for my server file.... ive not tried 3rd party programs as i was told by the tutorial that port forwarding was good enough so if i need a 3rd party program let me know i guess

Steps To Reproduce

i download game after port forwarding and run scripts for server and my friend runs scripts for client with the port forwarded port and ip and it doesnt do anything

You might have to use ZeroTier or Hamachi instead, its a bit like doing a minecraft LAN game with your friend over a virtual network, but with this lua script.

Another question is the ip in the server file 127.0.0.1 and the client ip the one you have? That was what I did wrong the first time

Might be caused from a major bug where the server is broken if the server's nickname is set to longer than 4 characters (in-depth explanation here: #41 )
