You're facing a common issue when setting up remote access through a VPN. It sounds like you need to verify which ports are open on your home network while connected via the VPN. You might want to check the firewall settings or use tools that can scan for open ports to ensure port 443 is accessible and port 1337 isn't blocked. This way, you can confirm connectivity for SSH, RDP, and even TF2.

I’m not familiar with networking concepts. It took me about an hour just to understand port forwarding.

I think Wireshark comes pre-installed with nmap. I haven’t tried it recently since I’m using Sniffer. Check this guide for more details: https://www.hackingarticles.in/understan...wireshark/

Get it installed and start experimenting—it's actually quite simple.

Nmap works exceptionally well, and I rely on it frequently.

It’s not restricted to just port scanning. Basic Nmap can provide deeper insights beyond simple scans, though it’s often paired with tools like Wireshark for richer data collection.

Wireshark and nmap serve distinct purposes. Nmap focuses on scanning and identifying open ports, estimating the operating system, and detecting active services, supporting both UDP and TCP. Wireshark is designed for deep packet analysis of network traffic.

I work with nmap but you're also welcome to try zenmap—it's nmap with a graphical interface. You might also consider using an app on your phone; I use fing on iOS, though on iOS 11 or newer you won't be able to view device MAC addresses.
