I received a fresh router from my ISP with this updated port forwarding feature. It prompts for a Service type, but it defaults to "Other," which isn’t functioning. I’m setting up a Minecraft server and need to know which protocol is used by games in the dropdown for port forwarding—ranging from DNS to FTP to IMAP. I want to skip the trial-and-error and just pick the right one.

They only use the standard settings. Enter the correct ports in the rules. Ensure you’re forwarding ports to your PC.

This approach didn't yield any benefit. I've previously confirmed that Other isn't effective.

As mentioned, these are just placeholders. Gaming relies more on UDP spam rather than traditional traffic services. Take a look at the setup—remove any visible IP addresses from the screenshot.

Do you have a firewall installed on your server or on the router?

Confirm if the server PC is set to 192.168.1.2. Ask if they enter ***.***.***.*** during connection, replacing *** with your public IP address.

You're trying to link to your own device and the IP address is correct.

To link with yourself, you must use 127.0.0.1. The setup is intended for others to join.

I understand that issue, but connecting with my public IP makes it clear it functions.

They mentioned you need to reference 127.0.0.1...Connecting to your own public address from within the network isn't feasible. That's why it's set aside for local testing.
