I’ve managed to get it working now, indeed the problem was the random ports that erlang listens on needed opening, not just the epmd port.
iex --erl ‘-kernel inet_dist_listen_min 10001’ --erl ‘-kernel inet_dist_listen_max 10010’
running elixir with the inet_dist_listen ports fixed to a certain range, then opening all the ports in that range to tcp traffic solved the issue!
Thanks for the help everyone!
