Ports are not opening

[Oleboy555]

I am trying to host my own Rust server, but I need port 28105 UDP and TCP open, I opened them in my router settings and in Windows firewall, but it did nothing. I tried completely disabling my firewall, which also did nothing.

 

I am lost and dont know how to fix this.

You have to respect it And treat it Well.. Eventually the port Will open  hosting of rust servers is a pain in the ass to figure out.

I dont get why it wont open, even with the firewall turned completely off it wont open

There are websites that can check if the port is open or not. If it is then the problem lies elsewhere. If it's not then the problem is either in the router or somewhere between the router and the next hop.

But I opened my ports, so why does it say it is closed

Then a couple of things could be happening.

 

1. The router isn't configured correctly.

2. The router you edited isn't the edge router with a Public IP.

3. You can forward ports on the router (aftermarket router) but your ISP doesn't allow port forwarding.

Then there's a couple other possibilities but they're less likely.

They might but I can't guarantee it. I have been told that some ISP's require you to contact them in order to setup port forwarding but it's nothing I've ever confirmed. Before contacting them have you tried opening very common or popular ports? Try port 22 or port 443 then testing them. If it still says they're closed then yeah call your ISP. Unless you have another router between the one you're configuring and the street.

Dont' forget that something has to actually be listening to the port for it to show as open.

I am running the server, but I dont know if that counts as listening to the port

to check if theres anything running on the port try telnet. if you are running the test from the server machine itself run "telnet localhost portnum". if the port is open then the screen will turn blank and nothing will happen. if the port is closed it will keep saying trying and eventually time out.
