Port Forwarding Not Working

Hello, I have tried port forwarding my server and it is not allowing me to connect using my IP address. I have opened the ports on my router and windows defender firewall as well as checking if ports are opened using canyouseeme.org and it says that port 30120 is open. I can connect using localhost but when I go to connect with the IP it gives an error. I have connected using port forwarding in the past, roughly a year ago and I am just now getting back into things. Any help would be great.

Get a friend to check if they can connect to you or not using your IP address, its possible its a NAT Loopback problem with the router “has this changed sense the last time you did it?”.

If you do not got open nat on your router you will need to use your localip to connect to your local server but it should be fine for others.

Other people cannot connect even with NAT opened. I’ve tried through hamachi and opening my ports on my router and windows defender as well as it showing in showmyip as both of the ports being opened although I can’t even connect using my IP and neither can others.
