Port forwarding a minecraft server

[Berkan5473]

hello, i have a ubiquiti edge router, i wanted to port forward my minecraft server but whatever i tried it didn't work, i tried different port, i watched multiple tutorials but all didn't work. i managed to get it working on my lan but than others from another network couldn't join. i'll provide screenshot from the config file from minecraft and how i created the rule for port forward.

Is there anything in front of the edge router? An ISP router specifically. That would also need to be port forwarded.

No, it’s only the edge router. Just checked.

Make sure to have tcp/udp server port use default 25565 and server IP leave blank since that won't work they will connect via your public ipv4 address also don't give the ipv4 to people you don't know since it shows your approximate location

well that isn't really the problem, i just can't open any port right. i try to see if i it is open via canyouseeme.org but it won't work. also it works fine on my lan

i used port 1500, this worked perfectly fine for LAN, i opened it on my router with the correct ip but when i checked if it was open via canyouseeme.org with of course port 1500 but it showed this (i photoshoped the ip out)

as i said before set the router to use tcp/udp since minecraft wants both and try with the default port and set server ip in the config as blank

Oke I’ll try that, the forward to address on the router does that have to be the same?

yeah i did that, didn't work so i guess it has to be a problem with the portforward rule or the firewall instead of the server config files (it worked this way via lan tho)

Seems equal to my config my last try would be to disable the firewall on the OS you are using if it is present

The ip in the router config is that the ip of the server device or the router?

It is the ip of the server running the Minecraft server so not the router

Me neither some ISPS have a firewall on their side my old ISP had that there was a port forward function but it had no function since it can't be disabled
