Thank you, I found the exact bracket I need to buy now.
 

Does your router say what your WAN IP address is?  If its between 100.64.0.0 and 100.127 than you have CG-NAT and cannot port forward, you'd have to see if your ISP lets you pay for a static public IP address.

Sometimes they may also use standard private IP ranges which also prevents port forwarding:
Class A: 10.0.0.0 — 10.255.255.255
Class B: 172.16.0.0 — 172.31.255.255 
Class C: 192.168.0.0 — 192.168.255.255 
An IP in any other range should work however (unless its been explicitly blocked as mentioned above).
 
You also need to make sure the firewall on Windows is allowing incoming connections, although if you can connect to it from a different PC on the LAN then that would suggest it is allowed in the firewall already.

For anyone who also cares about privacy I would recommend setting up DNS over HTTPS, that way all your requests are encrypted. You can find the official guide here. 

Also if you want to use your DNS server away from home you can follow this official guide here. But setting it up to have a VPN and DNS server there are some changes that we need to do that don't follow the guide. 
Under "installation", you can skip the install pi-hole part since you should already have installed pi-hole. (For more experienced linux users: the port of the openvpn server can be anything. But make sure the port isn't already in use or that your ISP blocks it when port forwarding. Can be handy to bypass port blocks by using port 433 or 80) Skip finding the IP under "Setup OpenVPN Server" and change `10.8.0.1` to the ip of your RPi(Raspberry Pi) which you already have if you followed Jake's guide. Before creating an user follow this: Run command: `openvpn --genkey --secret ta.key` Edit the config file and add this line: `tls-auth ta.key 0` 
(This adds an encryption layer between the client and the server, so some extra security) You can probably skip "Firewall Configuration" since Raspbian doesn't have a firewall pre-installed and you also don't have installed any Follow these parts of "Optional: Dual operation: LAN & VPN at the same time" Add this line to your `/etc/openvpn/server/server.conf`: `push "route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0"` but change `192.168.2.0` to your subnet which you can find in your ip, for example if your ip is: `192.168.1.43` you replace `192.168.2.0` with `192.168.1.0` and with `192.167.8.28` you replace it with `192.167.8.0`. But if your IP is for example `10.8.0.7` you'll probably need to replace the whole line with `push "route 10.8.0.0 255.255.0.0"`. Run this command: `pihole -a -i all` After this port forward `1194` or the port you decided to use on your router, you can find guides online.  Let me know if you find a mistake in this.

ok this seems to to the trick it works so first of all  thank you!!
and just to comper the original size in h.265 was 52.9g and now its 20.5g (ill try messing and trying new things in handbrake to test the real limit of my hardware for best quality to performance ) i really like handbrake very user friendly and a lot of customizations and for free.
but there's a still a problem with the file size i can cut the file into small chunks of its self but ill lose all of the subtitles and other voice options you know of any program that can cut the file into pieces but still keep the subtitles and voices for other languages?
 

So that video is encoded in H.265 (HEVC). This is a better compression for lowering the file size of a higher resolution image (assuming ideal quality settings, etc).
 
However, some devices have poor H.265 decoding performance. If the file is too large, it can cause problems.
 
Once the transcoding is finished with the settings I specified (H.264), let's compare the file size of the new encoding vs the one you've posted.
 
In terms of your SmartTV, it should have no problems playing back H.264. It should also play H.265 as well, so the issue may simply be too large of a file size, rather than codec specific.
 
Tip: If you're going to rip Blu-Rays in the future, the recommended program is MakeMKV.

Question 1: How did you rip the movie to your computer? Be specific - what program, what settings (if relevant), etc.
 
Question 2: What codec is the movie file encoded in?
 
Question 3: Was the Blu-Ray encryption stripped out already (usually done during the ripping process)?
 
Your most likely solution is to simply transcode the movie file into a smaller file with a lower bitrate. Handbrake is typically the go-to for this. I'd suggest H.264, with an RF setting of around 20. This will give you high quality, decent file size, and a very wide compatibility.
