I hosted a bedrock server on a ubuntu vps. Tried to join the server directly through the rented vps ip and port address and was unsucessful. I proxied the vps to playit.gg server instead and was able to connect to the server through playit.gg's ip and port address.

The server details in the bedrock client however are not displaying(server name, no. of players, ping). But I can still connect and play on it.
