Greetings, I'm trying to run the bolt_sample, with no changes added, and with my friends, we can't connect without port forwarding. We each have tried hosting and it keeps retrying to connect. Is NAT punching working?

Regards.

    Are you connecting through the Zues master server? I believe that is only way to currently use NAT punch through.

    Yup using Zeus master server. I can see from the network traffic and logging that it connects to zeus, from there, it fails to punch through I believe, and keeps retrying.

    @jimmyjams There is more you have to do than just connecting to Zeus. You need to host through Zeus then the client connects through Zeus by choosing a session to connect to. doc.photonengine.com/en/bolt/current/in-depth/zeus
