Hello!

 

I would like to forward a port but it just won't open.

 

I would like to create a minecraft server, which has 25565 port as its default. I called my internet provider and they told me that i cannot open ports that start with number 25 so i came up with the 35566 port.

 

I created a port forwarding as every tutorial website showed me:

 

1; i created the port forwarding: i set ip as my private ip address and my WAN IP start with 100.81.... so i am guessing it is not a Private IP

 

2;  I created Windows Firewall Rules

 

3; I also added a rule to my virus defender

 

And still it isnt working.

 

 

I turned off my firewall and check if it is still closed, and it stays closed

Hi,

 

Apparently, in addition to the private IPv4 address ranges the Internet authorities have allocated yet another address range for special purposes and the address you mention falls right into that.

So, that explains why port forwarding doesn't work for you.
