It doesn’t matter whether you connect via Wi-Fi or LAN; if port forwarding doesn’t work, there’s an issue with the settings or firewall on your computer. I recommend turning off the firewall.
When setting up a connection, Ethernet tends to be preferable over Wi-Fi due to its reliability and lower latency. The issue you're facing probably stems from port forwarding configuration, which isn't your responsibility. It seems like the problem lies elsewhere in the network setup. Instead of dealing with complex configurations, consider using tools like ngrok to route traffic easily without needing port forwarding. It's free for casual use, so I recommend giving it a try. DISCLAIMER: I'm not endorsing ngrok.
