Sure thing! Here’s a clearer version of your message:
Hey everyone, I’m trying to share some ports for playing 7 Days To Die with my friends, but I’m running into problems. I’ve attached the list of ports the game requires. My forwarded ports are: https://i.imgur.com/xVNvZxU.png. It looks like there are four sets, and I sent them all just to be safe. My friends still can’t connect.
I also shared a screenshot of my forwarded list, and the confusion comes from the "server ip address" field. It’s auto-filled with “192.168.1.” which is my router’s IP. I changed it to the correct one I found on whatsmyip.com, but it still caused errors. Any advice would be super helpful!
I checked the command prompt and confirmed my local IP address. Please let me know if this resolved the issue. Earlier attempts didn’t succeed.
Share the "IPv4 Address" from ipconfig. Pass your public IP from whatismyip.com to them and let them join using it.
Yeah. I have done that, and i'm just super confused because he can see the server and everything, just can't connect. Also i'm confused about my router cause there is no straight up "Port Forward" tab and I dunno if i'm inputting these ports in the right area. I put the ports in both "virtual servers" and "Port Triggering"

I remove the 192.168.1.0 rules from your virtual server configuration; you should use the internal IP of the hosting machine, like 192.168.1.4. It’s usually not possible to forward the same inbound port to multiple destinations. Port triggering isn’t relevant for a server setup—it dynamically assigns ports for connections you start from your local network so new sessions can connect from that source. This approach isn’t ideal. You’ll also probably need to enable a firewall on the hosting computer (such as iptables on Linux or Windows Firewall) to manage access properly.
