Here are a few items I've learned that eventually got the plugin working for me.
1. Leave the SimpleFollow config at "localhost" on the character that is your leader.
2. On the character that will be following, enter the IP address of the computer that your leader is running on (I use two computers, so not sure how it works if they're both on the same PC)
3. Be sure the character that is the leader is also set as the party leader in game.
4. Either turn of Windows firewall totally or create a rule to allow inbound port 10920, if you're familiar with advanced firewall configuration (again, if you're using two computers).
5. I've found that it works best if my monk is the leader instead of my furious charge barb, because the barb will run ahead and abandon the monk if he's leader. The result is that many times only one character ends up getting shards and loot in regular rifts because they may be on different floors of the dungeon when the RG is killed.
After figuring out these tweaks, I'm now able to use R-Rift or RiftBot and let my two characters run for long periods of time with no issues. I haven't tried armory yet, so I come back from time to time, pause the game and spend shards. Sometimes my characters get a blood shard goblin when I'm out of the room and when I come back they're just running circles trying to pick up the excess shards and can't do it, but I'm okay with that.
