At a loss regarding Wan connections
 

No matter what i have done or what settings I've used i can't seem to get the server to work properly with a WAN user. I can get as far as the character select screen but then it never enters the world. It hangs for a bit and then goes back to the server select screen.

Your world server isn't exposed to the WAN - most likely.

How would i go about exposing it? I have tried opening the ports, i have tried port forwarding on the router. nothing seems to work

Bump
Digging up old post but i think i'm having the same problem.
