Connection issues.

So i have set up the server on my own system but im using ngrok to portforward ( dont have access to the router settings of my own)
I have the beige connecting screen appearing and the loading animation (very briefly) but the client itself isnt loading.

Works perfectly fine on localhost.
Any suggestions?

I don't know anything about ngrok. Which ports are you using? Make sure your ISP isn't blocking those incoming if you're on a residential plan. Also have someone outside of your network test the link as you may not have NAT Loopback capability. Or just use your cell phone for the test.

File port 8080
Packet port 8088

This is how i have gotten to where im at... 8087/8088 dont seem to work i end up with 502 error instead.
Ngrok basically acts as a port forwarder. instead of my personal IP it would forward through ngrok which offers an ipv6.ngrok.org address people can use to access your client on a home network

Also make sure PM is open in the Windows firewall and that you don't have an overzealous security/anti-virus app running that could be blocking. Otherwise it's probably ngrok not configured correctly.
