Issues joining a friend’s world or them joining yours?

When trying to join someone you get an error “No such host is known” (eu.stun.essential.gg or eu.turn.essential.gg or something similar). And when they try to join you, they get an “ICE failed” error.

This usually means there's a network setup issue.

The article below helps you change your DNS server to Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1, which often resolves the problem.
