I want to turn my old pc into a minecraft server.
I did portforwarded but it didnt work.
I saw that the port is open but the router firewall is blocking it.
I was wondering how safe is it to turn off router firewall and is there any other option for portforwarding.

it is not safe to turn off router firewall, but you can place your server in a DMZ so others can connect to it from outside, but it leaves your server vulnerable to attack, which firewalls prevent.

What about the firewall on the server computer would that keep me enough safe?
