Couldn't establish communication with server (IP works)

Post by AGamer457 »

I am trying to host a factorio server with docker desktop on mac. The server is up and running, I can connect via IP but I can't seem to get the public browser aspect working. Here are the steps I tried:

1. Port forwarding is set up properly, can connect via public IP and port #
2. Tried setting username to either factorio account username or login email
3. Tried entering factorio account password
4. Tried using token instead

None of the options seem to fix it. My friends and I can connect via manual IP address, but we'd like to connect via the public browser instead. Any ideas?

client.log
server.log

A couple of things to note:
1. The server is on a docker container running on a mac
2. The server seems to have proper authentication because it can update mods (otherwise it would give me HTTP403)
3. It seems that the server doesn't even register the client as logging in via public. Only logs I that show up is when trying to connect via IP
