Trouble with Port Forwarding...?
Working on launching a Forge server with a big mod-pack to play amongst friends. Server opens and runs just fine, and I can join and play on it locally. Only problem is that trying to connect to it via any public IP results in the "Connection timed out" error. Seems like it might be a port forwarding issue, but that process is all simple enough. I can connect to it locally with the WAN IP provided by the router interface. In the past I would have just used the server computer's local IPv4, so that's a little confusing too. I've tried port forwarding the device's local IPv4, and the WAN IP, but no dice. ISP is Google LLC, router is an ROG Asus thingamabob. Not sure if this is the right place to come to, but seems on-topic enough... Wanted to know if anyone had any similar issues or any insight. Thanks in advance!!!
