[Fixed in 0.13?]Strange Network Setup Problems

I have seen this same problem. The issue here is that the IP you are trying to connect to is a private network IP. You're not on that network, and your connection will never reach them.

The problem is caused by (usually) some of the players and the server being on a VPN, and connecting through the VPN instead of the server's external IP.

It is my understanding that the p2p system is being removed and client-server architecture implemented all the time, so "fixed in 0.13?"

For now, the work around to have all players forward the appropriate port, and to connect to the server's public IP.
For more information about Private Networks and which IPs belong to them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network

Thanks for the report,

This may or may not be fixed in 0.13, but if the issue persists im sure you (or someone) will make another bug report
