Are you sure this is a bug with abs? Many users connect to their server with the iOS app

I'm not sure how to troubleshoot your network. There are users in the discord server more knowledgeable than me about networking so I think you're best bet is to ask in there.

As of now I don't believe this is a bug with Abs but we can re-open this if we find something that suggests it is.
