Can't port forward

unclefunni — Sun, 10 Jan 2021 20:15:28 GMT

Hello, I am trying to port forward my Minecraft server on my BT Smart Hub 2, but when I port forward, UpNp is unchecked and yougetthesignal.com says the ports are still closed.

All help appreciated, thanks!

Have you allocated the rule to a device / IP Address?

Please don't post the same question in multiple places, it just causes confusion.

What does https://www.grc.com/shieldsup show. The minecraft server needs to be running for the port to open.

Then that's a problem with your application not port forwarding.

I have let Java and Minecraft and port 25565 through on both TCP and UDP, and also made an exception in Windows Defender for all of my Minecraft folders and my server folder, and my friend still cannot join.

Perhaps the fault's at your friends end, can anyone else join?
