visor does not connect to / apppear in hypervisor on other side of router

[0pcom]

Describe the bug
the visor does not appear in the hypervisor when the hypervisor is on the other side of the (official skyminer) router

Environment information:

• OS: Archlinux, ArchlinuxARM
• Platform: x86_64, aarch64
  (desktop, official skyminer)

Steps to Reproduce
Using the official skyminer (with port forwarding previously configured on the router)-

• install skywire on desktop (x86_64) and skyminer
  (freshly built to the latest commits to master today)
• generate hypervisor and visr configs
• copy hypervisor public key into visor config
• start visor and hypervisor

Actual behavior
Visor does not appear in hypervisor interface. Visor's terminal output indicates "dialing" the hypervisor public key repeatedly.

Expected behavior
Visor appears in hypervisor interface.

Additional context
My guess is that the router is blocking the connection.

it was my understanding that this was supposed to work, from this article of documentation
https://github.com/SkycoinProject/skywire-mainnet/wiki/Run-HypervisorUI-on-local-machine

@0pcom Are you sure that both the visor and the hypervisor use the same deployment? So are you sure the hypervisor was using the production deployment (and consequently that you did not use the -t flag) Can you check give us the logs for the hypervisor and visor in question? Sounds like a configuration or dmsg issue. As long as both visor and hypervisor have an internet connection, everything should work regardless of router configuration.

I have not had time to conduct further tests. I am reasonably certain that the -t flag was not used but I will verify this the first chance I have.

Cannot reproduce this so will close for now.
