Less a MC Admin question and more a Sysadmin question...
I set up a home server rack recently, and it's accessible within my house, however I have attempted to port forward on both port 25565 (MC's default port) and 22 (SSH connection port) and neither are working. My friends still cannot access my server despite the ports pointing to my server. I'm just trying to get this set up.
WHAT I HAVE TRIED:
- Port forwarding on Port 25565
- Changing the default port to 25566, and port forwarding there
- Port forwarding on Port 22
- Port forwarding on both simultaneously
- I am able to connect when joining via my server's internal IP address on the specified port.
- Going to a website that tests ports tells me that ports 25565 and 25566 are closed. Same with Port 22, which I use for SSH connections on my local network.
WHAT I HAVE:
- Home server (Mac mini for the hardware) running Ubuntu Server 20.04
- Minecraft vanilla server 1.20.1, running on default values
WHAT IS NOT AN ISSUE:
- I am using the proper external IP address, not an internal IP address.
- Yes, the server is powered on.
NOTE: Yes, I've tried googling it. I've also failed googling it.
