Hello, I have a friend whos lives in Malaysia and doesnt have access to Microsoft's online account sync. I was told he could use prism on windows11 to access my server with tailscale on my linux minecraft server. The problem is run into is that he can connect but the connection times out. Im running this server on a system with a 3070ti GPU and his laptop is less than 2 yrs old and has a 3050 GPU I believe. Any insight is appreciated

Are you certain you're dealing with a timeout and not a block at the server side?
Also can you tell me which minecraft server software you're using?
Most minecraft servers software uses Microsoft accounts to determine whether or not someone is banned and ban everybody who doesn't have one.
