Error 2014 occurs at the TCP handshake layer when the client fails to maintain a persistent WebSocket connection to Fatshark&#8217;s backend clusters. Common triggers include: (1) ISP-level DNS caching pointing to decommissioned backend nodes, (2) Strict NAT types (Type 3) blocking UDP hole-punching, (3) cFosSpeed and similar traffic-shaping software injecting latency spikes above 150ms, and (4) IPv6-only networks without proper dual-stack support.
