Finally successfully created an cloudypad instance with AWS.

🥳

However I’m having issue with moonlight pairing on my iPAD.

Unfortunately this is a Moonlight / iOS limitation unrelated with Cloudy Pad. See moonlight-stream/moonlight-ios#417

Apple's App Store Review Guideline 4.2.7a states:

The app must only connect to a user-owned host device that is a personal computer or dedicated game console owned by the user, and both the host device and client must be connected on a local and LAN-based network.

Therefore, Moonlight does not allow you to add PCs that aren't on your local network anymore. This was a hard requirement by Apple's App Store Review team.

The workaround your mention is indeed listed here as well moonlight-stream/moonlight-ios#417 (comment)

However Wolf, the streaming server we use, does not support IPv6 connection yet so it's probably why it isn't working. You can checkout games-on-whales/wolf#136

I don't have a workaround just yet, sorry

Thanks for the reply!
Issue solved with tailscale!

Well done ! Can you share how you use Tailscale please?

Re-opening to put that into visibility.

create a tailscale account

ssh into your instance

install tailscale with:
curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh

log in tailscale on both sides (cloudypad instance and iOS device)

connect to your instance with tailscale IP using moonlight

Thanks, I'm gonna try to reproduce and document it
