I put it in TCP/IP mode, closed the loop by putting each other's ip adress in the config, and I also reversed the ports numbers in/out (60000 and 60001). I can see a frame, then IlPer says the connection failed. Did I miss something ?

Ok, so one half of the communication is Ok !
And for the returning path, please double check IP address & outgoing port in Ilper and ingoing port in Free42x.
Can you ping the phone's IP ?
Any firewall popup on the PC ? You can try to disable it.

I run it over Wifi at home and didn't met any latency issues (some in Bluetooth, hence the loop latency combo).
I didn't try in 4G, need port forwarding and stable IPs on both sides...
