Hi I got the following problem. I successfully created a Tailscale network and a user from outside the network can login and connect to my network. That part works properly. We use a Fedora Linux PC as a host (Sunshine) and Moonlight Client on a Windows 10 PC. After tinkering for hours we can now see each other but I get the following issue “Request Timed Out (Error 4)” This issue always happens after inputting the PIN which is displayed on the Windows (Moonlight) on my Fedora PC (Sunshine) the client cannot connect after that but still sees my PC online and as a viable option to connect.

Additional Info: I’ve asked in the Moonlight Discord but I still got no answer.

    Maybe firewalld is getting in the way. You can temporarily disable it:

    sudo systemctl stop firewalld

    If that doesn’t work, you can see if SELinux is the issue. Temporarily disable:

    sudo setenforce 0

    Be sure to re-enable SELinux:

    sudo setenforce 1

        Reenable the firewall with

        systemctl start firewalld 
        

        Then get the current networking zone with

        firewall-cmd —get-active-zones 
        

        It will likely be called FedoraWorkstation, if not just replace that name with whatever it is called in the following steps.

        Next you should enable the ports for Moonlight, which from a quick ddg search I think this should do it:

        firewall-cmd —zone=FedoraWorkstation —permanent —add-port=47998/udp
        
        firewall-cmd —zone=FedoraWorkstation —permanent —add-port=47999/udp
        
        firewall-cmd —zone=FedoraWorkstation —permanent —add-port=48000/udp
        
        firewall-cmd —zone=FedoraWorkstation —permanent —add-port=47984/tcp
        
        firewall-cmd —zone=FedoraWorkstation —permanent —add-port=47989/tcp
        
        firewall-cmd —zone=FedoraWorkstation —permanent —add-port=48010/tcp
        
        firewall-cmd —zone=FedoraWorkstation —permanent —add-port=47990/tcp
        

        Then reload the firewall with:

        firewall-cmd —reload
        

        Lmk if that works

        Edit: added more ports needed for the WebUI and controller support. Check the docs here if you wanna see what each port is used for

      Wouldn’t it be better to open specific ports than disabling the entire firewall? Or am i missing something?

        Better for testing to disable, then figure out ports and stuff afterward if the disable worked, I assume is the logic
