Check whether you're behind CGNAT. Compare teh WAN IP shown on your router with the public IP shown by a 'what is my IP' site. If they differ, or the router's WAN IP starts with 100.64 to 100.127, your ISP uses CGNAT and port forwarding wont work... ask your ISP for a public IP. hope that helps :)
i set up a a block-building sandbox dedicated server on my old desktop sooo my friends could play anytime. It runs, i can join it from my PC on LAN, but nobody outside can see it. i forwarded UDP 7777 on the router. At one point the server box even showed this:
what am i doing wrong?
i double-checked the router rule and teh server's config file. the sevrer console says it's running and waiting for players. my friends just can't find it, not even by direct IP.
