Hello, I read the post, but no one answered the question. And I found that some Android phones can connect to the server normally, while others keep showing that they are connecting.

Is your computer using the same connection? Or does your computer use Wi-Fi/landline, while the phone uses SIM card? If your computer is a laptop with Wi-Fi, does it work if you connect over the phone by opening a hotspot there?

Me too, I can’t connect on my phone, but it’s normal on my computer. Both use the same network.

Hello. What is the address of that forum? Could you share the relay domain name that can be used normally? Thank you

My account cannot connect to the server, it shows that it is connecting [works on desktop and Android&VPN]
