My port 25565 will not open no matter what I do. It seems like there is something blocking it but I have let it through my firewalls. my friends cannot join the server with the public ip when I have it running, but I can with the remote ip. I'm pretty new to this but have basic knowledge. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
You can go to https://www.yougetsignal.com to test accessibility to the 25565 port. Since your friends cannot join it will most likely be closed, but just make sure.
Next you can check whether the IPV4 that you port forwarded to is still the same as your current IPV4 (you can check your current IPV4 in command prompt by typing ipconfig and pressing enter). If they are not the same you probably don't have a static IP. In this case you will need to set your PC a static IP and you should be good.
