Port Forwarding won't work no matter what.

[Netanel_2]

it's been 2 days now that i'm constantly trying to make port forward works.

My router is Netgear VEGN2610. It's not a very complicated router, though i've been messing around with so many things to try and figure out what's denying it from working.

Following the many guides out there in the internet, I did manage to understand how to port forward, and I did perfectly fine, but It can't seems to be working when I check it in sites like 'canyouseeme.org'

The ports ive been trying to configure are:
8484
8080
8888
80
7575
7576

I've done this by going to Advanced > Advanced Setup > Ports forwarding / Port Triggering > Add Custom Service > *writing the port* > Apply > Inbound Firewall rules > Add > Choosing the port I created, Allow Always and in LAN server I put my IPv4 IP > Apply > Apply.

After this process, the port is supposed to be working fine, but it's not, I also tried 'Default DMZ Server' in Setup > WAN Setup, I also tried check settings in WAN Setup like "Respond to Ping on Internet Port" or "Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection".

I've went through so many guides and threads explaining common mistakes and all I was trying to do for the past 2 days is trying to figure out how to fix this and no success so far.
Looking desperately for help in this thread
Thanks in advance.

A port will appear closed if there is no service to respond to a call. You need to have your server up for ping requests to work.

I know, I took it for granted and didn't mention.
Still doesn't work :/

Hm. Why are you trying to open all these ports anyway?

8080 OPEN
8888 OPEN
80 OPEN

These are HTTP ports that are always open.
Putting a local IP into the DMZ should open up any and all ports for any and all traffic. If a server added to the DMZ can't have its services accessed, something is wrong with the server. That or it wasn't correctly added to the DMZ. OR! it could be blocked by your ISP.

I need these ports open to make a game server public, also "these" ports. 80, 8080 and 8888 doesn't seem to be open as well as every port im trying to check.
I've also tried the DMZ option but it didn't seem to change anything, the only thing I had to do to make the DMZ work is put there my IPv4 which I did and I haven't felt any difference, anyways, I've also tried calling my ISP and asking for their help, I don't think they block it since they told me themselves how to forward ports which I already knew, they couldn't help me any further because they didn't know how to fix my issue.

Btw I added a pic to my last comment showing how port 8484 doesn't work

A few things - you can't really use a PC on your network to test these things, it mucks it up. Like if you try and connect to your WAN IP from a LAN computer, it isn't going to work.

Use something you know works and requires no set up.
RDP port is 3389 Add a rig to the DMZ or forward 3389 to 3389.
Confirm RDP and remote access is enabled by connecting to the server using RDP in your local network.
Now, from outside the network, using your phone or a computer in a different location, attempt to connect to the PC using your WAN IP and RDP.

Hmm, I don't think I fully understand what you are trying to say nor I know what RDP is and how it works, im still a rookie.
Though, I did forward 3389...

Remote Desktop Protocal. Built into pretty much every windows machine out there.
How are you going to manage your server? Usually servers are headless and must be accessed remotely (no monitor or keyboard attached to them) You need to get familiar and comofortable with your local network before exposing it to the WAN.

How is this RDP supposed to help me? If being honest im a little confused, as far as I know, I only need these few ports to be open for the server to be public

Because we have no idea where you are going wrong, it could be something very fundamental. We don't know how Maple Story or whatever MMO is being hosted works, or what exactly it expects of you.

RDP works with little to no input from the user. If you can't get that to work, we can't really confirm that you understand what you're doing, or that the advice we are giving is being followed.

You state you have a rig in a DMZ, and that you have forwarded ports, but it "doesn't work". I know RDP works. and I know if RDP isn't working - it is on your end, not Microsoft's code.

I understand, but I have minimum knowledge in every bit. As far as I know, a Maple Story server must have the few ports open, I only know how forward ports is being done and how to check whether it works or not. Your advice is not taken for granted and is greatly appreciated, however I can't guarantee to follow it as I mentioned before, my minimum knowledge limits me from doing so, I will highly appreciate if you could give me a guide or something to help me through.
This is the first time I've heard of "RDP" and I can't figure how can it help me solve my issue but on my end I assume it's my problem, however I'm still seeking desperately for help.
