Remote connections fail on subsequent android app opening.

[DirtyJerz]

Here's the long and short of it. On my local network, everything connects and runs great. When I try to connect from outside my local network, the app stalls after connection with a blank main screen. It's as if the app found the connection then instantly lost it. I think it's from the async nature of searching for the servers. Below is a grep'd ('/App') logcat so it's missing volley and other messages. I'll fire up Android studio and get a more complete logcat at a later time but I think this illustrate the issue.

You can see that after the line

D/App     ( 7971): 21:33:32.829 [Thread-703] DEBUG App - Sending WakeOnLan over broadcast address. Mac: 10-C3-7B-50-8D-11, Port: 9

it finds the correct address and authenticates, but the url is changed back to the intranet IP. I tried tracing the log through the API in IntelliJ but ran out of time. Posting here to see if you have a quick fix.

Thanks.
