Remote connections not working as intended

[Crook3dTeeth]

With the latest version of beamngpy I can't remotely connect to a beamngpy instance on another computer. Using beamngpy version 1.26.1 works perfectly fine but 1.27 gets a WinError 10060. I've tried disabling firewalls and all that and I've used wireshark to see that the packets are making it to the host machine but nothing is being returned or showing up in the console log. I am also having latency issues when connecting remotely and locally with getting camera data which I can fix with is_using_shared_memory being set to true but this crashes when trying to use it remotely which is what I intend on doing.

Hi,
for security reasons, BeamNGpy since 1.27 launches BeamNG to listen on the local network interface only by default, you can set it up to listen on all network interfaces by:

beamng = BeamNGpy('localhost', 64256)
beamng.open(listen_ip='*')

or you can set a binding IP address (see the docs) to listen on a network interface of your choice.

Shared memory cannot work with a remote host, but the user experience should be better than just crashing. We'll investigate it and put more meaningful error messages for this case.
