Troubleshoot tip: If you don't believe you are behind a firewall but still unable to join Airmeet, please check to see if Stealth Mode is enabled in AdGuard (adblocker).  

Airmeet can't detect your firewall settings with this enabled. After disabling Stealth Mode, you should pass the Network Firewall check. Similarly, if you have Kaspersky or any other Antivirus or adblocker installed/enabled, please disable that for the time being.
