  As I said on Github, you need to run the home server in debug mode.  No amount of poking configuration files will tell you why the home server isn't responding.

  But if you run the home server in debug mode, it will tell you why it's not responding.  Likely because of a configuration change you made on the home server.

  i.e. the default configuration will always respond to packets.  If the server doesn't do that, it's because you've edited the configuration files and broken it.  Don't do that.

  We don't need to see the configuration files.  We need to see the debug output.
