Hi!
So I’ve been using playit.gg for a couple of months to host several ongoing TTRPG games (think D&D and others) using FoundryVTT. I followed this guide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B_lm72Lgic) and everything worked flawlessly.
However, I notice that on occasion, things will get pretty unstable, the other players and I will get momentarily disconnected from the server, sometimes it will seemingly randomly take a very very long time to load in to the server, that kind of thing. I’m not super techy, but I believe Foundry works by running as a server that can be connected to, and I notice that even when I connect to the Foundry server on my own local machine where I host Foundry I will still have the same problems, disconnecting and sluggish speeds. The problems tend to last for at most an hour before returning to normal, with one exception where we had to give up playing totally mid-session because everything went to crap for several hours.
My question is if upgrading to a paid subscription would definitely resolve any or all of these problems? Or if perhaps I won’t know until I try, which would be a shame. Or maybe more likely there is something I am doing wrong and there is an easy fix haha.
If it matters, I am based in Brazil, and have tested my own general internet connection every time we have problems and it has always been fine (Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test about my connection, if it helps).
I don’t know how to interpret the output of the command terminal, but it looks like this:
no command provided, doing auto run
checking if secret key is valid
secret key valid, agent has 1 tunnels
starting up tunnel connection
tunnel running
playit (v0.15.26): XXXXXXXXXXXXXX tunnel running, 1 tunnels registered
TUNNELS
hold-package.gl.at.ply.gg:XXXX => XXX.0.0.X:XXXXX (proto: Tcp, port count: 1)
playit (v0.15.26): XXXXXXXXXXXXXX tunnel running, 1 tunnels registered
TUNNELS
hold-package.gl.at.ply.gg:XXXX => XXX.0.0.X:XXXXX (proto: Tcp, port count: 1)
playit (v0.15.26): XXXXXXXXXXXXXX tunnel running, 1 tunnels registered
TUNNELS

playit (v0.15.26): XXXXXXXXXXXXXX tunnel running, 1 tunnels registered
TUNNELS
hold-package.gl.at.ply.gg:XXXX => XXX.0.0.X:XXXXX (proto: Tcp, port count: 1)
playit (v0.15.26): XXXXXXXXXXXXXX tunnel running, 1 tunnels registered
…
And repeating, every second or so
I also don’t know much about internet security but to be safe I have obfuscated some of the more important looking numbers lol. the longer string of thirteen numbers (XXXXXXXXXXXXX in what I have posted) changed every time it repeats, or at least the last 5 digits are.
Thanks massively in advance for any help that anyone is able to provide!
