Do you know if your modem from the ISP is bridged to your router?

If you do not bridge the connection (normally requires calling the ISP and telling them to put the modem in bridged mode) then the modem is still acting as the firewall and will block ports, even if you allow the ports on your router.

This is called Double Nat and its a bad thing.

i have done everything just as the tutorial says, still no luck.
my windows firewall should not be blocking it as i added a inbound rule to allow it. and i have tried disabling firewall aswell

i only have windows defender and i tried disabling it aswell and did nothing.

on my own pc.

it has worked through lan before but never tried hosting a actual server, just there's open to lan option on minecraft that did indeed work when we tried it

could that also explain why i closed nat on some games and open on others
also i got one port opened on my last pc somehow, but it was acting wierd, it only opened once i lauched the server. and it stayed open untill i closed it, now i cant do it again so i dont know how i did it.
