I started hosting a server on a local machine (not the one i use to play MC). I am able to join from my gaming desktop using the hosting PC's IPv6 address however whenever i try to join using the public ipv4 or ipv6 address i cannot. Same goes for my friends. I tried port fowarding through my router and the locally hosted machine and still no luck. Also tried turning off firewall rules completely and same result. Hoping someone can help

So that was what was written there before I deleted it. Should i replace it again?
ocean cave
try that, yea
patent sluice
so I just want to double check. Do I NEED to port foward for this to work properly?
