so i ping'd my external ip address and it wont ping (using an app on my phone, not wifi) i tested it with google.ca to make sure it was working, but my external ip isnt going through
yea, i was able to connect on the same lan, i made a mistake before, i forgot to turn on my server. as for outside my lan, im still having trouble with that. you mentioned that if i have a hybrid router, that it might be my problem? i am using my wan ip, i got it from https://whatismyipaddress.com/
so earlier today i tried setting up a server, downloaded the server.jar, started it, edited the eula to true, then started it again to get the rest of the files and folders, exited the server, i then edited Server Properties . i then forwarded my port. used ipconfig in cmd to find my local port, IPv4 address 169.168.0.2
i edited port forward to be 25565 (both inbound and out bound) it also had local port, so i made it the same there as well, i used both tcp and udp as the format and made the ip address to match my local ip.
with that i used canyouseeme.org to make sure my port forward was working, and it passed.
after that, i checked minecraft and made sure my local network worked, as in, i loaded up minecraft on my home network, went to multiplayer and put in my external address and it worked,
thats when it stopped working, outside my network, say at a friends, it wont connect to my server, ive left my server running on this pc of course and made sure both minecraft and java had network access and it does, so im not sure what is wrong, the error message just says, unable to connect

hey wait! that worked, turning that feature off in my router settings, allowed people outside my network to connect to my server

another update, my router had ping blocking enabled, so i stopped that and now i can ping my ip address. ill check with the firewall and report back
