is sunshine installed on the remote host?

[perler]

I try to access the remote instance from my Apple TV which doesn't allow connections to hosts outside the LAN. I am not very knowledgable re moonlight and the ecosystem around it, but to me it looks like Sunshine would do the trick?

Cloudy Pad is using Wolf under the hood, it's a lot like Sunshine. I think it's a Moonlight limitation on MacOS unfortunately - see #97. I'm looking for a workaround to document proper user of Moonlight on MacOS

Not sure if this happens with macOS as well, my issue is with tvOS. I will do some research on my own as well..

Hmm indeed, I'm not familiar with tvOS. How did you install Moonlight on that device ? Via App Store ? From this Moonlight issue: moonlight-stream/moonlight-ios#417 (comment) it seems that Moonlight installed from App Store may not be able to connect to something not on local network.

The app [Moonlight] must only connect to a user-owned host device that is a personal computer or dedicated game console owned by the user, and both the host device and client must be connected on a local and LAN-based network.

A workaround is worth documenting here. I'll also do some research. Do not hesitate to post back if you find something :)

Ok, here's the workaround: put the IP in IPv6 format:

[::ffff:203.0.113.1]
