Android and LUA networking

Dec 20, 2016 Xeha link
Since vendetta update 1.8.402 (or 1-2 before), i can no longer connect to any external server via TCP. I always get "Network unreachable", meaning android itself (or VO?) restricts me from connecting. When trying outside VO, it all works fine, so its not a network issue.

Did something change regarding permissions for VO on Android?
How can i allow VO to connect again? I'd appreciate a fast bugfix.

We just released an update that may improve this situation. Basically, we had previously added support for IPv6, but apparently Android has a variety of problems with IPv6. Like.. lots of them.

For the moment, we're forcing Android to use ipv4. We did not realize this would be such a mess prior to release.

Apple, for their part, forces apps to support ipv6, which is how we got on this path to begin with.

Thanks for the fix! Seems ipv6 really is a huge mess on android (not only there tough). Preferring ipv4 over ipv6 made everything work again :)

Everything is back to the usual for me too.

Thanks GS
