I want to connect using telnet to my computer. however when I tried that its giving me error 111. the server works when im doing

telnet 127.0.0.1 12345

however

telnet 159.65.233.178 12345

does not work

if its a firewall problem then how do I allow someone to connect to that port ?

should I paste my server code? its in lisp though and uses usockets

sudo ufw status

still not working, what do I do?

you cant really connect to your own pc without port forwarding

#

not using a public ip anyway

shy quest
#

its possible using a private ip, or the loopback(which you did), but not the public ip

#

but a private ip is the same as the loopback in your case

#

other people wont be able to connect unless theyre using the same wifi

yeah you cant do it without port forwarding, soz

dull sand
#

so I have to setup port forwarding?

shy quest
#

yes

dull sand
#

ill try doing that and get back to you, thanks

dull sand
# shy quest yes

could you point me to the arch wiki page that shows how to set up port forwording? I cant find it, I dont think archWiki has a page called port forwarding. any other recourse will do too
