Hi, so today I wanted to make my own minecraft server to play with a few friends, nothing big, just a server for up to 5 people. I managed to create the server and it works on localhost but the port forwarding just doesn't seem to work. I created a port on my router's website ('Capture' image, I left out the Ipv4), I tried all 3 protocols (TCP, UDP and both) but nothing works. I also left a screenshot of the server properties ('Capture2' image). I also tried the TCP, UDP and both process with and without my Ipv4 in the 'server-ip' line in server properties. The .bat file crashed about 4 times when I tried launching it after putting the Ipv4 in server properties but it was fine just after. I really don't understand what the problem is here, I tried remaking the server 3 times and watched a bunch of different videos about port forwarding and mc server creating but the result is the same ('errorreport' image). Btw the server ip that I would give out to my friends is my Ipv4:25565.
1. Well, I've left it blank before so I guess I'll just leave it blank from now on
2. Alright, but it won't work for them anyway rn, I went on a website that checks if a port is open or closed for your ip and it said error everytime.
3. I've actually already made a server before (1.13) and it worked (portforwarding process was the same) and I really don't know what can be wrong. Firewall/antivirus might be the problem here, is there any general way of checking this or is it just different for everyone?

1. Leave the server IP setting blank.
2. You connect with localhost, your friends with your public IP.
3. If that doesn't work, your portforwarding is wrong or a firewall/antivirus is blocking the connection.

thanks for the help btw
3. Yes there is a way and it's very simple: turn it off and check.
