Do we know how to get firewall rules to keep friends in your limited public lobby again yet? I've read how this used to function in the past, got friend's IP, put in exclusions, but if you enable your rules manually, or with the app with the exclusions it's solo again. Seems to work for internally networked friends, ie. husband and wife who put in a 192.168.x.x subnet exception, but no one else that I know of.

Nevermind, I worked it out. Exceptions need to be made for private subnets, rockstar's cloud IP range, and of course any friends external IP, but my rules are working now.
example:
New-NetFirewallRule -Program “D:\GTA5\gta5.exe” -Action Block -Profile Domain, Private, Public -DisplayName “GTA Online BLOCK inbound(private lobbies)” -Description “Block unknown IPs from connecting to the public lobby for inbound connections” -Direction Inbound -Protocol UDP -LocalPort "6672", "61455-61458"
New-NetFirewallRule -Program “D:\GTA5\gta5.exe” -Action Block -Profile Domain, Private, Public -DisplayName “GTA Online BLOCK outbound(private lobbies)” -Description “Block unknown IPs from connecting to your public lobby for outbound connections” -Direction Outbound -Protocol UDP -LocalPort "6672", "61455-61458" -RemoteAddress "1.1.1.1-10.0.0.1","10.255.255.254-47.196.12.1","47.196.12.254-172.16.0.1","172.31.255.254-192.81.240.1","192.81.247.254-192.168.0.1","192.168.255.254-216.146.252.1","216.146.252.254-255.255.255.254"
