NightHawk RAX43 Port forwarding Issue
Hi all, I can't seem to port forward my router. I will refer to the port forward server as a Minecraft one to be easy. 1. I use a third party program "PFPortChecker" Which I've used many times befor...
Most online checkers need something listening on the port to report it as open. In other words, your Minecraft server needs to be actively listening during an online port check. Otherwise, the check will report the port as closed.
Ive added inbound and outbound UDP and TCP 25565 ports is that what you meant by listening?
Ive got a static IP
Ive got inbound and outbound UDP and TCP rules for 25565
Ive got port forwarding internal IP address made to my PC's IPV4
Ive got LAN setting address reservation set to my PC's IPV4 so it's the same.
I'm thinking maybe my provider is blocking my connections. I'll have to call them when theyre open.
- No
Listening = the server needs to be active (running) on the port you forwarded during an online port check. Otherwise it'll report it as closedI've tried this aswell by starting my Minecraft server and looking for my port opening. I port forwarded my friends PC and router the EXACT same way ensuring every step is the same. We both have different outcomes as his Port forward worked and mine did not. I contacted my internet company and they do not have any Port block or limit e.t.c.
