Ports forward but closed when tested.

[Nexus Radical]

Hey guys,

So I have a problem with my router. I have an active forwarded port rule. but it just won't work.

I've tried restarting the router but it doesn't work

Here is what it looks like. There is only options for eth... So ethernet only? Does this mean i can't get it to work over wifi?

.

testing with "www.yougetsignal.com":

Unsure what the hell is up...

Here is some software info:

Have you been able to port forward previously ? Could be your ISP blocking external ports such as a CGNAT connection.

New ISP. Haven't used them for much longer than a month. So haven't tried before. My ISP is hyperoptic.

Oh, so all fiber, so wont be CGNAT. Their own support pages refer to port forwarding so they must allow it.
Was the router supplied by the ISP ? If so, ask them for assistance would probably be best.
Otherwise, check for updated firmware, also check for any remote management ports that might be opened somewhere in the settings, they might be causing conflict.
I had a Huawei HG659 years ago that would refuse ports etc, or at least look like were enabled. Was firmware issue.

Ill give that a go. Can't seem to find anywhere to actually check for a firmware update. But yeah. The router was provided by them. The actual software on its has been all Hyperoptic branded up. We'll have to give em a cool. Will update later thanks!

So I called my ISP. It would appear that I don't have a public IP. Everything is routed through a server to a private IP we have. Interesting. Usually, we'd have to pay for a public static address but we've been given it for free to test out the port forwarding. Will update once its active to see if it's fixed the issue.

Well, I'm kind of confused. Either the static IP worked which it didn't for my stanard port forwarding rules already listed. That was untill i configured my port forwarding like this to include both types of ipv6 connection types..... Confused since im pretty sure mincraft doesnt even support ipv6 which was the whole point for now of this. Oh well.

Cheers!
