I’ve been trying to make a Raspberry Pi 4 Minecraft server for my friends and read I need to port forward but my router (ZTE F688) doesn’t register the fact that I port forwarded.

Websites like YouGetSignal still says the port is closed odd thing is I can join on my home internet but when my friends try to join they can’t

enter image description here I’ve tried:

  • Rebooting the router
  • Going to my ISP page on how to port forward
  • Changing the WAN host address from 0000 to other numbers
  • Setting using the Raspberry Pi static IP
  • Even DMZ doesn’t work

this is how I've been doing can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? and if I'm not wrong im behind a cgnat

if I'm not wrong im behind a cgnat

If you're behind a CGNAT, then you're not able to receive connections. Anything you try to do in the router is irrelevant – to be able to forward packets, your router must first receive the packets that it's meant to forward, and that's not happening through CGNAT.

  • a) Call your ISP and ask for a "static IP address" (which implies a non-CGNAT one), or b) set up a VPN tunnel outbound to some other system that'll relay for you.
