Local Hosting
- "Port Forward Network Utilities" to test things
- Have python client.py and server.py scripts, run server with PFNU to verify TCP can connect and send
- HG533 lacks "NAT Loopback" meaning we can't connect to the external rainbowunicorn.ddns.net:19132 while on our own wireless!
- We can see it with Wifi turned off, but get "Unable to connect to the world. Please check your connection to the internet and try again"
TODO
- Check logs on machine for Windows MSPE
- Check logs on phone if you can
