The concept involves redirecting traffic through your ISP router's NAT. Since your local machine is behind a WAN IP like 90.90.90.90, you must inform the router to forward incoming connections from that IP to a specific local address such as 192.168.1.25:25565. You'll need a fixed local IP for your computer and set up routing rules in the router to handle port forwarding or NAT traffic accordingly.
I attempted it but encountered the issue when trying to connect from a different network. The error message reads: "io.netty.channel.AbstractChannell$AnnotatedConnectException: Connection timed out: no further information."
In the server.properties file, the IP parameter should reflect the local IP address of the server, not the WAN IP.
Yes, you're right. In the IP there is the server's local IP address.
