Hello, your port 25565 is not visible in the router settings even though you opened it in the TrueNAS scale VM. Check the firewall configuration on the VM itself to ensure the rule is applied correctly. Also verify that the image used for the VM contains the necessary services enabled. Let me know if you need further guidance.
What's the point of adjusting the firewall settings? Also, did you realize you picked the incorrect choice? Are you sure your internet service provider isn't giving you a CGNAT connection?
Ensure the server is operational so the checker can respond. Also verify that the True NAS firewall permits the required port.
From your local network, the Minecraft server should work without major adjustments on TrueNAS. Just verify whether your ISP employs CG-NAT; if so, you can't resolve it unless they allow a public IP or VPN service. For better control, consider using your gateway/router's web interface instead of Windows for port forwarding setup.
I discovered I don’t have a public IP address. I’d need to purchase one, which would be costly. Instead, I’m using a service named ngrok. It works with its web interface for setup. Are there alternatives that don’t require a public IP?
It varies based on who’s accessing your server. If it’s someone you recognize, Tailscale might work well for them to connect via VPN to your NAS, though it may feel similar to using ngrok.
