Hello, good morning, evening or night depending on where are you from, i am here looking for some help, i have been trying to open a modded minecraft server so i can play with my friends, but i ran into an issue, as far as i have seen, i am not allowed to port forward, or there is something not letting the port, be ported forward itself, its quite annoying the fact that i already searched on whole internet and i still cannot seem to fix the issue.
My router is a Technicolor CGA4233TLV2
I have already sat a Static Ip to my computer, and i have already opened both TCP and UDP ports, i have tried with one TCP and one UDP at the same time, and with only one with the BOTH feature enabled, but still when i get into yougetsignal.com it still seems to be closed, even tho i have it opened on my firewall and already ported it on my router
Is there anything i can do? Im willing to send screenshots of my configurations on both my router and my firewall if they get to fix the problem
First, make sure that you’re not behind CGNAT with your carrier. Refer to the dozens of on-line articles for instructions on how to check.
If you’re NOT behind CGNAT, then you might have one of a number of finicky routers that won’t port-forward from-and-to the same port number. I’ve run into several over the years.
In those instances, pick a random port number from the high UDP range, (40000-60000) or so.
Let’s say you pick 45678.
Let’s also assume that your Minecraft server is at 192.168.1.200 on your LAN, and listening on port 25565.
Go into your router, and configure the port forwarding rule like this:
External IP: ____ Blank or 0.0.0.0 – whichever your router requires.
External Port: __ 45678
Protocol: TCP
Internal IP: ____192.168.1.200 <<< Use your minecraft server IP here.
Internal Port: __25565
Save your settings, and restart your router.
Then, have your friend(s) try connecting to: YourPublicIPAddress:45678
See if that works. . .
(Again, this won’t work if you’re behind CGNAT.)
