Hi, so I've been trying for several hours now to get a personal server up and running for my friends and I to use during this whole quarantine thing. I did the port forward, made the firewall exceptions, got the server running, but no matter what I try I cannot seem to get it online. I've restarted my computer, restarted the server several times, I'm about at wits end here. I can connect on my computer with the ip, but none of my friends have been able to do so and every server status site I've checked has said it's offline. I really would feel silly wasting all this time just to go ahead and buy realms, if anyone has any suggestions on possible further steps that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

constantly confused
1. Try Hamachi and have you and your friends join the same lobby in Hamachi and then try hosting the server
2. Play in the same network (i.e. your house's internet)
3. Just play in a small whitelisted server
