Port forwarding not opening a port

Hello

I am trying to open a port for a server im wanting to run, I have opened up the port forwarding settings and entered all the details as shown on the picture below. Then i have checked to see if said port was open using sites like https://www.canyouseeme.org/ and https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ neither of them are able to find this port. 

So i am wondering if i have set it up wrong or if anyone could help me open said port

Thanks in advance!

       Probably, in a global sense.  To what is your Orbi connected?  The
    fact that its LAN IP address subnet is "10.0.0.*" suggests that there's
    a NAT router between your Orbi and your ISP, which would tend to make
    port forwarding on your Orbi disfunctional, even when done correctly.

     

       Presumably, if you look at the WAN/Internet IP address on the Orbi, it
    will not match your external/public IP address.

     

       For the usual problems with port forwarding, see:

    Yours, I'd guess, is number 1.

       I see no model number in that picture, only a firmware version.  Is
    the management interface on these things really that lame, or did you
    hide it?
