Well that second one is your problem

you cannot test the UDP port to be open

or at least is not a good sign

You're running minecraft or similar on your public IP aren't you?

A TCP port, like the server, or minecraft can return open
the UDP port for raids cannot

OH

I am actually, and I had 25565 forwarded on both TCP and UDP

changed to TCP only and now he's able to connect.

I think we can call this resolved, and I will go cry in shame in the corner
