if not
!cgnat
We may have bad news for you :C
You may be under a CGNAT which is a method that ISP's use to conserve IPV4 IP's due to how limited they are now. What this means in plain terms is that your IP address is being shared with other people as your router goes to the ISP's router, by default this means port forwarding doesn't work.
We need to check if you are under a CGNAT and we got 2 options.
Option 1: commands
Depending on your OS, run the following command:
- Windows:
iex (Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DominicTWHV/Is-It-CGNAT/refs/heads/main/windows.ps1")
- Linux: curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DominicTWHV/Is-It-CGNAT/refs/heads/main/linux.sh | bash
-# You should never run such things without reviewing and understanding the code
Option 2: manually
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 port forwards 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.
What do I do now?
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 upcheck if you are behind cgnat if you are NOT you are GOOD
if you ARE you are FUCKED
how do you do the command ?
just follow the guide
command you can do from Powershell
yep powershell
and how do I know if I'm good ? Sorry I'm really bad at programming and all, that all looks like sorcelery
I did the command, I got stuff... don't know what that mean according to the guide...
just screenshot this portion
i did not got that
did you get you Are behind cgnat?
show everything MINUS public ipv4
i got that under public ipv4 and ipv6
oh
just press enter
:YEP:
i got what you got !
you can put 25565 but we can do that after we find out if you are cgnat or not
perfect
so step 1
do you have full access to your Control panel of router?
how ?
ok better question
do you know where your router is?
yeah
and what type of router it is
perhaps who set it up?
I set it up a while ago lol
How do I know what type is it ?

192.168.1.1
Fizz Router Login - 192.168.1.1
Fizz web-based management interface allows you to change Wi-Fi password, Network Name (SSID), and default router settings at http://192.168.0.1.

thats ur server
okok !
is there a way to log to the router without that ? I still live at my mom's so I don't have the login infos 🥲
mmm probably not :YEP:
well ok you can screw that idea and just use Essentials mod as ur server host then

yeah...
okay I manged to log in !
ok hold on a minute now
i want to ask some questions
1. do you have another computer that you will use as a "24/7" host for your friends. or ur own pc?
2. how many people are you gonna play with?
My own pc and around 3-4 person will be logged on sometimes in total
you are fine running your pc for a While and sometimes having the server on even when you dont play right?
Can't I close it when we don't play ? Like we will rarely play on it (it's with irl friends)
yeah then thats fine
so I logged in to thje fizz thingy
then what ?
use this guide
should I add a new rule ?
yes
and what do I put ?
oh wait
which protocol ?
Yeah Idk what to put and/or how to get all necessary infos
protocol tcp
public port range -> 25565 both
private port range -> 25565 both
local ip address, the ipv4 cgnat gave you
any
on
the ipv4 thingy doesn't enter completely
public ipv4 ?
yes
it says it's not a valid ip since it can't enter completely
is it that I'm getting the wrong stuff ?
idk, i dont have the router you have to know
there's a serie of numbers and letters next to both Public IPV4 and Public IPV6, but those infos don't enter completely in the box..
the fizz thing says it's not a valid ip adress
it's from this command i did in the begining : iex (Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DominicTWHV/Is-It-CGNAT/refs/heads/main/windows.ps1")
shouldnt need to do that, remote ip address should be any, local ip should be the local ip address for the machine your port forwarding to
How do i get it ?
get what
the local ip?
Yeah to put in the box ?
is the pc windows or linux
Windows
When i did the command in powershell I got the ip. When i try to put it in the local ip adress box, it doesn't fully enter in the box so it says it isn't valid. So is it that I'm doing something wrong ?
Bad ip or something etc
you shouldnt be using that one
type ipconfig in powershell
find the ethernet adapter and look at the IPv4 address there, thats the one you should put
oooh okay i'm gonna try
ok so now I did the port forwarding part of it, what do I do ?
@ProGamingDK @Clyde
port forward on ur pc now
how ?
I gave you a link to the video?
This one ?
yes
