Server is up, but can't connect to it. (UE4)

Hello, after some testing it seems the match maker aspect of PlayFab successfully launched a server build. (However it doesn't notify the players in the queue. I'll save that issue for another date).

The server build is still running now. I can RDP into it, but:
- It doesn't appear to be running the UE4 Dedicated server .exe from what I can tell. (Task manager)
- Even though the server is "Active" with a player count of zero, we can't "open <insert_ip>" / connect to it from the game.

It's like the server is up, but not really up and we don't have a clear way to diagnose the issue. We don't see any problems when testing locally with Docker.

Nevermind:

- It looks like PlayFab gives a separate random port to players to connect to (Obviously). Once I was able to determine that, opening to that server via the in game console was possible.
- However it looks like the player count doesn't update and the server doesn't seem to self-kill. But I'll save that for another question/issue.
