Hi, i recently made a server on aternos (https://aternos.org/go/) to play minecraft survival with a few friends, after a while of playing on the server I found it to get more and more lag every time i boot up the server making it unplayable. so i extracted the world to save the progress and put the server in my own hands. I watched multiple guides on youtube and downloaded the bukkit 1.14 server. after completing all the steps I booted up the server and it ran. but when i asked my friends to join none of them could, i scoured the internet and tried every solution i could find and none has worked. i port fowarded turned off windoes firewall, have deleted all protection software and nothing has worked for me. PLZ help asap because i really want to play minecraft with my friends ty for any support
Hmmm i updated the info to the what you suggested but the website say "Port 25565 is closed on 192.168.1.46"
EDIT: checking now the website auto makesd the ip to 76.169.199.*** and it saya the port is open on it but the ip 76.169.199.*** is not the one I port port fowarded or the one that shows up for ipv4 when i type ipcong in cmd PS Ty fer the support regardless

Your friends don't join from 192.168.1.46, that IP just port forwards your computer and it is needed for people to join through your internet. And people outside your network are supposed to join with your internet IP, 76.169.199.***. When people with your internet IP join, they automatically get routed to 192.168.1.46 (your computer). They cannot join with 192.168.1.46 as it as a private address, not a public one. That is why it says port is closed on 192.168.1.46 and not 76.169.199.***. 76.169.199.*** is the real IP of your server as it is the public address of your internet and it will route your friends to to your computer, then the server. So leave the portforward as 192.168.1.46, you join with it and your friends join as 76.169.199.***.
joining with your external ip when you are on that network will fail as thats not how routers work, you join with internal ip, people not on yout connection join with external ip
thanks so much I found out today what you said is exactly right, and strawberry3x ty so much u were so much help

Are you on Ethernet or Wi-Fi? If you're on Wi-Fi you need to enable something in Windows to make it work.
im on ethernet
Post screenshots of your portforwarding.
I have charter spectrum when I type in my gateway
Try 25565-25565 in both external and internal instead if of just 25565.
Also for now only use TCP, not TCP - UDP.
Use Port Check Tool to see if it's working when your server is open.

Ok thanks I will try it out, but one strange thing i notice is that when I try to join with 76.169.199.*** it doesnt work, even for me
As webrosc said, you join with 192.168.1.46 and your friends join with 76.169.199.***.
