RedHawk13 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I've tried both manually and even calling my isp but I just can't seem to get the port open. That's the router's config I've also made sure to exclude this port from the firewall restrictions but that didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappen Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I'm not an expert but I think you normally forward hidden IP-addresses. If your server is supposed to run on the IP-address you forward to then all that is needed is to open the port in the firewall and make sure the server is running before you test. I tested to ping the address so it's live from what I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also opened the port in the firewall but nothing did change. And I also did fowards the hidden ip but it also didn't do anything. I'm currently in a call with my isp but it seems they're having trouble opening and knowing what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappen Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I just tested ping the IP-address you forwarded to... If your server is running on an hidden address (starting with 10, 172 or 192) you need to forward to that address and not to public IP-address.

gavagai Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Forward the port using the internal ip. With dcs you don't even have to know your external ip because of the server list.

RedHawk13 Posted June 8, 2018 Author Share Posted June 8, 2018 Ok, idk why it worked now but it did. I closed the port with the forwarded ip and left only the port open with the hidden ip and my friend was finally able to find my server. Thanks.
