Hey there! I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I'm trying to set up a dedicated Valhiem server for myself and my friends to play on. My machine is an old Optiplex 3050 with Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS installed. The server files are working fine when I start the game, and all necessary ports are forwarded through the firewall on both the host machine and my router. The internal IP address in the router points to this server machine. I'm completely new to networking and hosting, so I'm unsure if I made any mistakes.

By the way, I used to host everything from my Windows PC like a normal user:
I would start the game, then set up the server, change the password, and launch it. My friends could connect easily, but now they can't at all. Even after resetting the router and re-routing the ports, nothing works. Any advice or help would be really appreciated.
