Never heard of that lol. Can you get into its settings?

#

Show me the port forward stuff

sterile ore
#

#

what do i edit

thin oasis
#

It's active now

sterile ore
#

is that how I do it ?

#

and if so what does my friend need to join it

thin oasis

Yea, so the WAN port is what your brother is going to use to access your MC server. You just need to give him your IP and port number.

Did you verify that the Dest IP is your MC server?

wdym dest ip is mc server

thin oasis
#

Though if your ISP uses CGNAT this unfortunately won't work.

sterile ore
#

do i need to change the dest ip to my ipv4?

thin oasis
#

Is that the right IP?

sterile ore
#

no i changed it to my ipv4

thin oasis
#

Of your minecraft server I mean

#

It's internal IP

#

#

thin oasis
#

Your bro can connect?

#

Just be aware that your public IP can change, and you're gonna have to give the new one to him if that happens
