I have done these steps as noted in the original post. Sorry if the original post didn’t make that clear but I’m well aware of this standard procedure.
I would like to clarify that I’m using a internet where I cannot access the router settings for port forwarding given why I’m trying to use Playit.gg. Doing the steps provided does not lead anywhere (Client not connected). If you would want to connect in some way and try to guide me live through this I’m open to the idea, given it would be a different method as these steps DON’T WORK.
I also understand that mohist is by far not the best option but has been the only option I have found for plugin and forge support for MC 1.20.1 or higher.
