Error message indicates forwarding functionality is inactive.
Yesterday I chose to build my own Ubuntu server because I had some extra components (always wanted to experiment). The setup went perfectly, and using FileZilla and PuTTY everything worked smoothly until I installed Spigot. After that, connecting via LAN was also successful. When trying IPv4 (public): XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX didn’t work at all. Then I added a rule in my internet settings: https://gyazo.com/c83281c3d727ac5aab30eaf8db0a952f. Still no success—I’m confused about why. Shouldn’t Linux be very open to ports by default? I had its built-in firewall on, but I set an exception for 25565 and it still didn’t work. Any advice? My Ubuntu version is 18.04.3 LTS, Minecraft 1.14.4, and I’m using a Com Hem WiFi Hub C2 router. Thanks, Olesien.
80 uses the default port for HTTP. Ensure you're connecting to the right port, which is 25565. Verify your forwarding settings and update the rule accordingly. Also, include 25565 in the firewall rules for Ubuntu.
Confirm connection to Spigot is working. Port 25565 appears correct, but double-check your forwarding settings. Update the rule to use only TCP and retry. Ensure 25565 TCP is allowed through Ubuntu’s firewall on both inbound and outbound ports.
I understand the potential dangers, but I thought it might simplify things. It’s in an image, so I’m not really motivated right now. Just hiding if it actually works.
The forward function in your modem fails for various reasons. Often, especially with premium routers or firewalls, you need to create an exception in the router's firewall settings. Additionally, there might be a block from your ISP on that specific port. Switch the external connection to another and use a port checker to test.
