I am trying to set up a server in a game, but to do so I need my IPv4 address for forwarding the ports. In CMD ipconfig /all , it says my IPv4 adress is 10.0.0.31, but I believe this is the IP address for my pc on my private network? Anyway, this is not the IP Address my friends can connect to. I can find my public ip address, but I dont think this is the address my friends can connect to either? I dont know, but if anyone can tell me how I can find the IPv4 address where i am supposed to port forward, i would be very thankful!

Ipconfig /all - will show your local ip adress.
External ip address you can find by going to www.whatismyip.com

You have to configure your router. Route connections to specific port (that your game uses) to your local ip address.
Also you have to configure firewall on your computer to allow incoming connections to that port.

So when i am opening the ports on my router, i will have to use the 10.0.0.31 address, and when my friends are connecting they are supposed to connect to the address that i can see on www.whatismyip.com ?
