Has anyone here gotten modded, multiplayer Minecraft to work over VPN on the Steamdeck? (lemmy.world)

My friend and I want to play modded Minecraft together. We used to use Hamachi when we both had windows machines. Now Hamachi just isn't working. We can connect on the LAN we made, but I can't connect to the direct connection. There aren't any error messages that help. It just says it couldn't connect. I have a steamdeck and my friend has a Windows desktop.

I've done research about it and I am thoroughly lost on what to do. We want to try to do this for free or hella cheap.

Has anyone here encountered this issue and found a workaround or anything?

Do other LAN games work? I don't think vanilla or modded makes a difference but you can test on both.

Sanity check that you are using Hamachi's/VPN's assigned local IP instead of your router's local IP.

Is the Windows machine the host or Linux? If Windows check that Firewall is disabled for Java (assuming Java edition) and Minecraft.

We've tested both and neither work. We quadruple checked the IP. Windows is the host. I'll have my friend double check his firewall settings to be safe.
