Minecraft Forums

Hello everyone,
This is my first post on Minecraft Forums and I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right section, but I just couldn't find where.
Lately I've been having problems when trying to join ANY public server; all servers are shown with the error "Can't reach server". I have been looking around so many forums for this, but everyone seem to be having this with their own servers, I just cant join generally. Can anyone tell me how to fix this, while explaining everything which isnt obvious? I mean, if I need to port forward, which I doubt I need, let me know or direct me somewhere I can learn how to?

Maybe you should check your internet connection / firewall settings?

Port forwarding is only needed if you're hosting your own server.

My internet connection is fine, I can do anything online, my router is working well. I've tried turning off firewall, still doesnt work.

Try reinstalling minecraft? I have no idea.

Tried that too.
I tried restarting my computer and restarting my internet, still doesn't work.
Maybe it has to do something with my location?
Still looking for some help.

Ya, same with me and a friend of mine who lives close by. Where do you live?
