As you can see above, It shows me connecting to my server but doesn’t let me through

Okay, So I have a Dell R710 that I am hosting my live server to and my gaming PC that I am trying to connect to it from. (Both ethernet on same router in same house) Shared Public IP (might be the problem)

server is listed on the server list
Others can connect (friends)
I cannot connect on my gaming PC.
I have another server hosted through ZAP that I can connect to just fine
All other servers I can connect to except my HOME server
Errors shown above

Any help is greatly appreciated thank you.

For anyone Experiencing this issue I found the fix on my own. First: You need a VPN to connect to your own server that is hosting in your home on a second PC/SERVER PC. Why? I am assuming it has something to do with your Public IP. Thanks and good luck to all.

Dont try to connect via your public IP. this isnt something new or wrong with FiveM. Its how networking works, use the private ip on your home server as it sounds like your router doesnt have reverse NAT enabled. No VPN required…

Correct, you need to use the servers Local IP address not your external ip “unless you edit the hosts file but just use the local ip”.
