¶ Information regarding Portforwarding
If you are facing issues with Portforwarding, either because you cannot manually Portforward since you do not have access to your Router or for other reasons, and you cannot use UPnP or a UPnP Portmapper to forward the port that way, you may consider using software such as ZeroTier in order to connect devices that are behind NAT or a Firewall together without direct Portforwarding.
Do keep in mind however that everyone else you are trying to play with will need to download ZeroTier as well and join the same ZeroTier network.
If you want to make your server publicly available behind NAT and/or a Firewall, Portforwarding is a must. Either that, or you can try to Port-relay by tunneling your server to another host that is Portforwarded. This is a much more complicated setup however, and you should look up Tutorials about this if you want to attempt such a manoeuvre.
