That’s unimpressive, considering it is pretty much the best in that category for now.

I also like how they specified the Steam Deck as purely portable when in reality it is just as much of a hybrid as the Nintendo Switch, yet the Switch is in a category invented just for it so that they can give Snoy the console top spot.

The issue is on the host’s end. They have most likely put the wrong local IP into the server.properties file. Have your friend find the line that is server-ip= and have them put the IP of the VPN’s network interface if it has one. That should make it so that the traffic for the minecraft server is through the VPN instead of though their real network.
