When attempting to join a server, I get a multiplayer restricted skin error even though I am using one of the two default skins that says is usable. Once I select the other skin, I can tap on a server and it will then attempt to connect, but it never does and says a timeout occurred. This happens if I try to connect to my home server or an external one as well.

Is this happening with the default Alex and Steve skins? Also, is this only affecting players on iOS?
Additionally, is this happening because the skins are not quite loaded in fully when starting the game? (If you give the skin time to load in, you should be able to join servers without getting the issue.)
I am on iOS 12.3.1 and get it with my iPhone X and iPad Pro (1st gen).
It happens with both default skins. If I have Alex currently selected I have to select Steve and then try connecting again, although it never connects and always times out or says generating resources and then returns to the server selection screen. Same thing with Steve as the currently selected skin. Then I have to select Alex.
The error message appears right after I tap on any server (my local or external). Then it loads up the interface asking me to select a useable skin. I do let that screen fully load before selecting the other skin.
This was reportedly fixed in 1.13.0, which was released on 29/Oct/19. If this is still happening, what version and platform are you using, and what is the exact message text you receive?
v1.14.30 Windows 10.
The Skin that you have equipped is from a content pack that is not allowed in multiplayer games.
Me and my wife are both having this problem. We are both on xbox one and I'm using the skins from the halo mash up and she is using the skyrim mash up skins. Using 1.14.30 at this moment.
same problem here but I cant connect to a friends world neither with steve or alex but he can connect to my world
