Post subject:  Remote Connection Failure

I have had a remote connection working perfectly for years now, but suddenly, after a Windows re-install, I can't connect. Plan-G log says-

20:15:16.5 Connect
20:15:16.5 SimConnect.Connect - Remote. Mode = IPv4 Server = 192.168.0.213 Port = 4506
20:15:21.6 SimConnect connection attempt timed out
20:15:21.6 Disconnect

My SimConnect.XML says-

<SimConnect.Comm>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Protocol>IPv4</Protocol>
<Scope>global</Scope>
<Address>192.168.0.213</Address>
<MaxClients>64</MaxClients>
<Port>4506</Port>
<MaxRecvSize>4096</MaxRecvSize>
<DisableNagle>False</DisableNagle>
</SimConnect.Comm>

I have checked that the IP address is set up correctly in the adaptor, and Windows Firewall is allowing Plan-G to use port 4506.

What else should I be checking?

I should have said that this was for FS2020. Curiously the connection for FSX still works. What's different about FS2020?

Finally cured by disabling Windows Defender Private Network. Need to figure out now how to tell it to allow Simconnect from MS2020 to work.

Windows can do some strange things with networking sometimes, and I'm no expert: all I can really say is it SHOULD work...
