Ugh, yeah — nothing’s more annoying than your server ghosting you mid-show. Since it works locally but flakes out on your phone/laptop, the problem probably isn’t the server itself. More likely something in your network is dozing off or getting weird at night.
Could be power-saving settings on your router or devices messing with the connection. Some routers go into “night mode” or have energy-saving features that throttle local traffic after hours. Also worth checking if you're using a .local address — those can drop when devices sleep. Try hitting the server by IP instead of name, and see if it still cuts out. You can also test by plugging your laptop directly into the router via Ethernet to rule out Wi-Fi hocus pocus.
No need to blame your ISP — this feels like a local thing.
