I recently made a 1.7.10 modded server, I went off of the technic launcher and downloaded the server. I put in my ipv4 address in the server properties under "serverip". I went to my routers website and added my ipv4 with the ports 25565 - UDP/TCP. I can connect the the server using my ipv4 but my friends can not join through my public ip address, Idk where I went wrong, can someone help?
Are you running any Antivirus software or firewall on your machine? If so they might be blocking the incoming connections, you would have to create a firewall rule in the software to accept the incoming traffic as well as the router port forwarding.
Probably best to get your friends to check if they can connect now that you have added that inbound connection rule, sometimes open port check sites aren't completely accurate

I just added this, I do not have a anti virus software. I just checked (https://canyouseeme.org/) and it is still closed.

If I try to join through the public ip it doesn't work, or do I have to join through my ipv4 and my friends have to join through the public?
Yep that's correct, anyone outside your home network needs to use your public IP, and you need to use your internal IP or localhost
When my friends get on I will see if they can join,thanks so much!
My friend still can't join?
Closed
Something I forgot to ask, after you set up the port forwarding on your router did you reboot it? If not might be useful to try.
