Question

I am trying to make a simple game, similar to the Jackbox Party Pack, I am using WebsocketMultiplayerPeer for networking and I have run into a weird networking issue.

There are 2ways that you can connect to the server:
localhost, and My Private IP address.

But for some reason, when using standalone, I can only connect using my private IP address, and when using web, I can only connect using localhost? It’s not a CORS issue because when visiting the website using my private IP, it still only works using localhost. When I check my browser console, it doesn’t even report an attempt to connect to a websocket server.

FIXED!

It turns out my browser of choice was failing silently.
When I tried using a different browser, an error appeared in the console when it didn’t before. Turns out, it doesn’t like to connect to insecure websockets on a secure page.

Firefox continues to refuse to connect, but that’s because my certificate is self signed.
