My friends cannot join on my server

[farinha880]

I've tried to create a server, but neither my friends can join at my server, neither I can join at their servers. I have UPnP on and tried P2P, but didn't worked.

My Router is TP-Link Archer C6. I don't know if my ISP don't want me to portfoward (I know that some ISPs block portfowarding, I'm gonna contact them), or I'm doing everything wrong. I've tried for YEARS to portfoward and none of my attempts worked, so I just gave up and didn't tried anymore. Buuut this VTT is really good, and has all the features that I wanted for free, so I don't want to give up on trying to host a server to my friends.

I'm using Windows 10, and this is the debug info:

Please, I accept any help that you can offer to me, I just want to play with my friends. I'll try to answer as fast as possible.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, your external is behind a local IP so you probably have to use a 3rd party. I recently had to do the same thing. I recently installed ngrok. I then create a shortcut on my toolbar (pin to taskbar) then edit the shortcut to add tcp 51234 at then end like this "C:\Users\alias\Downloads\ngrok-v3-stable-windows-amd64 (1)\ngrok.exe" tcp 51234 so it automatically sets up my local port. It will then have a line like this:

tcp://6.tcp.ngrok.io:12285 -> localhost:51234

You then start a server and tell your players to direct connect with

6.tcp.ngrok.io
12285

Or whatever your ngrok says and it should work from there.
