Communication with the server failed. Would you like to switch libraries?

Well, the iPad is running a different Operating System, iOS, and a different application, I assume JRemote? So it isn't surprising that it hasn't been added.

This new message and the changes beneath it are still a bit experimental I think, and have only been added to MC so far. Maybe that will change in the future. But I suspect that there will be some changes to how it works, and if so, the message may hardly ever appear. We shall have to wait and see.

Hi, this is my first post so I
I am unable to access MC via LTE. I can set up a server connection on the LAN but not via Internet/LTE. This is what I get:

What do I need to do?
Many thanks!

Your router needs to be set to forward communication on port 52199 to the MC Server on your LAN. MC, JRemote, or similar will try to connect to your Public IP Address, which is the internet address of your router. From there the network traffic needs to be sent to the IP Address of the Mac running MC Server. Your Mac needs to be switched on and running for this to work without more setup.  Search for discussion on "Port Forwarding".

If you allow your MC Server to sleep when not in use, then your router also needs to be capable of sending Broadcast Wake On LAN packets. Many won't do this, for security reasons mostly. Search for discussion on "Wake On LAN", "Wake On WAN", WOL over the internet" and similar.

HaWi:
Thanks for your quick reply!
My router/cable modem has port forwarding set for 52199 (TCP&UDP). MC Server is running and I am still not able to connect. I have a NAS which I can access remotely without problems. I'll try to reset my cable modem, maybe that helps...

JimH:
A firewall can also block access.

This may help:
