Okay, so, I have client/server code that is programmatically correct.
I have had my VPS running my server code (java -jar myGame.jar) and my client code remotely connect to it fine NP. All was good up until I messed with some firewall settings and installed fail2ban (Linux land is still pretty foreign to me and I’m basically only capable of navigating around and opening files and saying ‘ooh… aah’ to myself).
So now I’m looking at this:
Server-Side:

Client-Side

Some debugging thus far:
Yes I’m connecting to the right IP address 100% guaranteed.
I am getting a response ping from the IP address (~65ms) that the server is on, yet no communication via the Kryonet babies.
Yes I have created a simple Kryonet application to double check my code is solid - and it is not the code.
Kind of weird. This basically leaves the firewall stuff to be the only possible explanation… right? (Also for the record I’m running my server on Ubuntu 14.04 and using Apache2 Web Server)
sudo iptables -L -a

I don’t really understand the specifics of this, but the REJECT 127.0.0.0/8 looks like it might be an undesirable behavior? Not sure. ISO help from someone that knows this.
I guess my last resort is an OS reinstall, which would make me a confused sad panda.
Thanks
