Port forwarding not working
I followed tutorials, did the windows firewall thing, port forwarded etc, and yet it doesn't work, my friend can't find my server if he puts in the IP I get when I look for it on a browser, so no matter what, he can't even find it, but local host works for me of course

Open your router's configuration interface. Somewhere you'll see something like 'external' or 'public' IP.
If your external IP is in one of the following ranges, you're basically screwed as long as portforwards go:
- 10.0.0.0/8
- 172.16.0.0/20
- 192.168.0.0/16
- 100.64.0.0/10
- any IPv6 address/range - This shouldn't be a problem, but Minecraft's IPv6 support is still rather quirky. You're at your own but we're happy if you share your experience.
You should ask your ISP for a public and IPv4 address (but this may cost you money).
NB: your internal IP should and most probably will be in one of the first three ranges, don't mix them up

(ik ik you were working on it in general, but it was cluttering /shrug/)
I don't have any of these
It's different IPs for me, so it's not cgnat
I checked the port forwarding and the port is closed, so the problem is my router website not working?
