Important parts

What is the issue you’re having?
My friend keeps getting, failed handshake to server, closed connection while deferring. How do I go about fixing this? It’s only this fivem server that my friend is having issues with. We have checked everything on our side. They have gone about deleting and redownloading both fiveM and GTA, also took down their firewall, tried connecting through the direct connect, looking up the name of the server and connecting that way. We have ran out of options to help him. Really hoping someone can help here.
What are you trying to do?
Help my friend connect to server.
What have you tried already to fix the issue?
Deleting/reinstalling GTA and FiveM, taking down firewall, restarting computer, clearing cache, connecting through IP/Flat out searching for server name.
