So here is my issue, I can connect to my mud locally but if I use a vpn on my spare pc it will say it connected but nothing happens, I sat there for 5 minutes at one point. The port is listed as open using:

Quote:
nmap -p 5555 127.0.0.1

And using an online port checker list the port as open as well. I am wracking my brain on this one :(
Any help would be awesome!

Here is the log, you can see where I tried to connect at.

My first guess is that you need to configure port forwarding on your router to make sure that it knows to forward connections from the outside to the right computer on the network.

I have the port forwarded correctly.
Here is my mudlet from when I try to connect.:

[ INFO ]  - Looking up the IP address of server: tbw.hopto.org:5555 ...
