Private Server Issues
First of all, I'd like to know if this exception is supposed to pop up.
Second, even though I'm able to join the server with the localhost address, I as well as others get a "connection timed out: getsockopt" error when trying to join via the IP. I've already ported the server forward, created the 4 firewall rules and let all Java related things through the firewall.

We may have bad news for you :C
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

the IP which shows up when I ask chrome for my IP is not any of these. the address which the CMD gives me when I type ipconfig is also none of these.
neither of those are the correct place to look
read the first 4 lines first
would the number under "IP/mask" in the WAN section be it? if so, its also none of these
some isps do block portforwarding until you call them, etc, what is the first 2 sections of the ip you have on your router+
100.85.xxx.xxx/xx
hope I'm not doxxing myself
Sure, I'll try calling them

ah, so I'm fucked? damn
most isps let you pay for a dedicated ip
for a monthly fee
hmm
well, thanks
