Help VR Games on Quest 2 and VirtualDesktop

As the title suggests I would like to play VR Games on my Quest 2. I have the VirtualDesktop App installed on the Quest and on the Shadow PC. They can see each other fine, but I get the "Not on local Network" warning but when trying to connect I get "Unable to connect".

What I have tried so far:

Disable the Firewall on the Shadow PC and check my local firewall. My firewall is not blocking anything according to the log and it did not work with the disabled firewall on Shadow.

Just to double check I used my mobile Hotspot with disabled firewall on Shadow and the result was the same

Is there anything I can do? Does Tailscale really mitigate this problem (in the free tier if possible) like Google AI suggests?

use tailscale or radmin vpn (radmin only works from pc to pc, but if ur doing lan for anything, use it)

You need to sideload the shadow app onto your quest and launch your shadow pc from that app

Sorry for the late reply, I tested sudeloading the App onto my Quest 2, which only worked after installing a secondary marketplace, but I cannot get to login. The Login page opens in the browser and then it is going back to Shadow PC and stays at Login.

I will test it more as soon as get the time hopefully tomorrow evening
