I am running a home server, it's an Arch Linux distro, connected through ethernet to this switch. I use this server primarily as a home media server, but recently I've started using it as a gaming server for some friends and me. I managed to set up port forwarding and they seem to be working, but I've gotten some complaints that my friends "can't see the server" anymore.

Hi, Derrick E.
Sorry for the issues you're having with your network. It sounds like a frustrating experience to have to go through all those restarts and all that constant troubleshooting.
So there is a known issue right now with the Home app and managing port forwarding on the Nest and Google WiFi devices. It's something our team is working on and I hope to be able to share news of a fix soon. I'll keep things updated as I learn more, but it is something we're aware of.
If there's anything else I can do for you, please let me know. Thanks.

Hey, Derrick.
I'm just checking in real fast to see if there's anything else you needed or if you were able to work this out. If you still need some help, just let me know and I'll be happy to keep working with you. I'm hoping with some of the recent updates to the app and devices that you were able to gain some traction in resolving this. Let me know!
Thanks.
