Hi @DrugSandwich ,

Thank you for choosing Photon!

So you have a single machine where you run a Photon client from the Unity Editor and a Photon Server using Photon Control.
If you try public IP address it does not work but if you try “make it local” it works.

What do you mean by “make it local”? do you use loopback address (e.g. “localhost” or “127.0.0.1”) or local network private IP address (e.g. “192.168.1.2”)?
Did you make sure the public IP address you are using is correct and is reachable? please try “ping” or “tracert” commands from cmd or powershell.

Verify you have your port forwarding on your router set to properly forward traffic from the public Internet to your Photon Server.
