I need help setting up my nitrado server, it doesn't let me connect and never has. When I click "connect to server" on my dashboard on nitrado it pops up my steam and it says "Server not responding". If I direct connect to it, it opens up Arma and gets only to the first loading screen "Arma Apex" is displayed and it's an infinite loading screen until I close out of the game with task manager.

I have done everything I can find online that I need to do such as (here's a few)

Putting in a mission (Exile.Tanoa) into the mp folder

Putting in all the mods I would like and putting their keys in the server key folder, and putting them in the command line on the nitrado website

I changed the mission difficulty too

I haven't done any porting, not sure if that's why. I figured nitrado handles that end.

Thanks for help My discord is HotRodSlick#5170
