I've being trying to port forward a simple port a long time ago...

But always got a problem, and this time don't know what to do.

When i go to "http://canyouseeme.org/",

When i try to check a port forwarded show up:

Error: I could not see your service on XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX on port (xxxx)
Reason: Connection timed out

And in the program "Simple Port Tester", that check your internal ip forwarding, seems alrightt

Once it happened to me, i had plan with normal ip etc and i was wanting to have server that everyone could come without any hamachi etc. I found info that isp can make your ip external so port forwarding is enough to let people join to server.
I changed plan and there was written ( If you choose this plan external ip will be too ) So i asked them to change and they changed so now i have external ip.
If you did your port forwarding good and still not working then call your internet provider and ask them.
