Doesnt work

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

i don't know its a custom build for a guild im part of, im sorry if this was already fixed.

Is the issue present in the latest stable version?

I honestly dont know

If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)

5.0-3345 is the build the guild is based on

If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer

What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)

i dont think its required for this issue.

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)

I think it simply might be dolphin doesnt use TCP but mayke Secure TCP if thats a thing.
I can confirm this works on other Netplay emulators
and if its a locally issue that means it wont impact my build.

Dolphin netplay uses UDP, which a quick search tells me ngrok does not support. If you're not able to use traversal for whatever reason, you'll need something which can tunnel UDP. The easiest way is a VPN which lets clients communicate with eachother.
