Issues With Port Fowarding

Ive been trying to port foward to start a Valheim server with my friends but no matter what I cant seem to get the ports 2456-2458 open. Ive opened them through port fowarding on my router, Ive tried disabling my firewall, Ive used sites like canyouseeme.org to see if the ports ere open and got (Error I could not see your service on 67.87.85.*** on port (2456)) Ive been able to open port 25565 for a minecraft server in the past but now I cant seem to open any ports at all. Im not sure what the problem could be.

      Thanks for the reply! The firmware version is V1.0.2.80 Im not sure what you mean by connected to what, but im connected to the router via etherent and the router is connected straight to the modem. And this is how I set up my port foward

           What, exactly, is your (unspecified) "the modem"?  Maker?  Model
        number?  Is it a simple modem, or a modem+router, or what?

           Deduce, not "assume"?  Did you try the local server tests suggested
        in that "usual problems" list?
