@ich777 Yeah sorry I didnt phrase that well. I think you have solved my problem though, I didnt realise that my friend wasnt on update 5 experimental yet.
Yes, I can connect to it locally through my unraid IP. I didnt change anything in the template and forwarded the ports as I should. I will have to wait for my friend to do the experimental download and test it, but would think that will work.
thanks so much, great work by the way and appreciate the quick response.
