They're having trouble joining my Minecraft world.
So, I wanted to make a server for me and my friends. I have followed a lot of YouTube tutorials about how to make it and I still haven' found out why my friends aren't able to connect. I have, what I think, already made a correct port forwarding, yet it still can't be public. What I've done: - I have tried to use ngrok, no go - I have rebooted both the internet and pc, no go - set a static IP on my pc, no go (I'm not sure what static IP is, but I followed this tutorial) - Remade the server, no go What I know: - Whenever I look up "what's my IP", it changes from time to time. I don't know whether this affects it or not? But, since people connect through here, I assume this is one of the possible culprits. - The server is fine, I can connect it locally. Using an IPv4 address is fine, but using "localhost" won't let me connect (it did, but after I changed a bunch of things I suddenly can't connect through "localhost") I really hit a dead end, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I don't really want to spend money on hosting severs, just because I know the ping would sucked. Since, I'm not really close to any good hosting server, so yea 100 constant ping is really a no go. I will attach my port forwarding settings, because the settings is different than the tutorials I have watched, so I want to confirm that I didn't make any mistakes here. If you need any additional information to help me, please just ask. I'm also open to Discord calls, since I really am confused of what I can do here. Thank you very much!
Your public IP address begins with a zero. CG-NAT is employed by ISPs lacking sufficient public IPs, and it can interfere with port forwarding.
The guide instructed me to enter my IPv4 address in the IP field, and I did that. Should I include the default gateway? Yes, because it ends with 1.1.
Thank you for your feedback. I've updated the antivirus settings for both TCP and UDP protocols. The changes are still pending confirmation.
I don't agree. Once you click and apply, it updates the unchecked items.
