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 server used to work before i updated the ubuntu version
possible firewall issue
check the status of your firewall
i use firewalld
is it active
yes
either theres some other firewall that was automatically installed or im just very slow
Did you disable ufw
ill check when i get on
ufw is not installed
ingress rules and ports

i had iptables installed but i cleared the rules
when i stopped firewalld the server worked
but now when i try to start it again the ssh just becomes unresponsive
after restarting the oracle device the servers work
so ig the issue was that firewalld was being stupid
