(Solved) Unable to do any networking, gives "Access Denied"

Update: I've solved this by using a different vr template (https://github.com/Resistance-Studio/UnityVRTemplate)

My end goal is just to get my project working, but I can't even get networking to work on an empty vr project. I can create connections just fine when I'm running in the editor or running on the headset through the editor, but a soon as I try to build to an apk and load that onto the headset, I get "Access Denied" no matter what I do.

The code I'm testing:

public class UnityThread : MonoBehaviour {
	void Start() {
		Debug.Log("A");
		Socket testSocket = new(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Dgram, ProtocolType.Udp);
		Debug.Log("B");
	}
	void Update() {}
}

Everything I've tried so far:

• UdpClient testClient = new EdpClient(12345);
• Socket testSocket = new(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Dgram, ProtocolType.Udp);
• Permission.HasUserAuthorizedPermission();
• Permission.RequestUserPermission();
• creating an empty vr template project
• using AARs to add data to android:networkSecurityConfig
• exporting as a development build
• adding a custom keystore
