Proxmox Cluster Using Public IP Not Connecting "failed to get address info"

[bugattiguy527]

Hello! I have 2 proxmox nodes. One running on my laptop at home which I am unable to port forward on and so I am ssh-tunneling the web gui to access it via a ip that can be reached from anywhere (I realize this is very insecure but I dont use this cluster for litteraly anything important its entirely for testing purposes). The other proxmox node has a public ip that can be accessed from anywhere without the need for ssh-tunneling. I have set both of the public ip in /etc/hosts and both have a interface set up that uses its public ip. When I connnect these 2 together I found a few problems. If I create the cluster from the node that has a regular public ip and join via the ssh-tunneled ip then I get this error when trying to join.

detected the following error(s):
* local node address: cannot use IP '34.45.213.183', not found on local node!
* link0: cannot use IP '34.45.213.183', not found on local node!
TASK ERROR: Check if node may join a cluster failed!

If I create the cluster from the node that uses ssh-tunneling then I can join fine but on both of the servers but they both appear offline and if I click on the summary of the ofline node on both of them it shows this error

hostname lookup 'laptop1' failed - failed to get address info for: laptop1: Name or service not known (500)

any idea why? I checked on the cluster page and it shows the public ip of both of them as link 0 and I tested the links and they both work fine and they can both ping each other. I have restarted it many times and recreated the cluster about a million times and looked it up several times and cant figure out why. I know I should be using a vpn but it majorly slows down my 3gb network speed. Thanks!

I just realized that I bet it uses more ports than just 8006 for corosync, il see what ports it uses and il let anyone know here in case they are in a similar situation as me.

Edit: I just tried forwarind the following ports
ssh -N -R 8006:localhost:8006 -R 5405:localhost:5405 -R 5406:localhost:5406 -R 5407:localhost:5407 -R 5408:localhost:5408 -R 5409:localhost:5409 -R 5410:localhost:5410 -R 5411:localhost:5411 -R 5412:localhost:5412 user@ip-i key
and same issues
