Public ports have to be the exact same as local ports.

Here are some recommended guides for server hosting:

Though in your image you have "public ports" and "local ports" , they both need to be the same, since you are translating the public port into a local one. In your screenshot they are not the same.

The Public port doesn't allow me to select it.

My provider said if i had the information they would do it maybe thats an options but these doesn't show the exact way to do it on my providers which maybe im over thinking it but i dont get this at all.

The ports you need to port forward are 16261 and 8766, if you tell that to the provider I think they would understand?

Create the udp tcp set separate. If your router has option like udp/tcp it won’t work.

Everything is working as far as that i need for the server to show on the public internet list

If you can directly connect using the IP and port than it will most likely show at some point. I have problems with my dedicated server staying posted but it pops off and on the list. I think the mass amount of server being created removed and edited bogs the system down or just won’t find all the server out their.

I just need to see if people can connect in all honesty.
