Description
Describe the bug
Hello,
For some reason I'm occasionally getting an error when trying to stream remotely from the Moonlight Android app via cellular connection, saying I should check the firewall rules for the following ports:
TCP 47984
UDP 47989
Yet, those ports are open on my remote PC and in the port-forwarding settings of my router, because I have no problem to use the Moonlight android app when I'm connected to WiFi or the desktop client while connected to LAN or WiFi from another place than my home, even when using mobile hotspot.
So it seems the issue is related to cellular network only.
Any guesses?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the connection from the listed Samsung Galaxy S23+ on Android 14 over cellular, then compare it with WiFi using the Moonlight Android app. Collect relevant connection logs around the reported TCP 47984 and UDP 47989 failures; done means identifying a reproducible cellular-only cause or documenting why the issue cannot be reproduced.
