i've been trying to setup a local minecraft server for a few days now but every one of my attempts at port-forwarding hasn't worked and the desired port has remained closed
i've followed every guide to the letter and tried every suggestion and nothing has worked, i've port-forwarded successfully in the past on my old netgear router but cannot seem to get port-forwarding to work on this newer asus router
nothing with my isp has changed that would restrict me from port-forwarding so i'm at a loss to what is wrong, the help of anybody here who is a networking guru or at least knows what their doing more than i do would be greatly appreciated

the port remains closed because your server isn't up and running so nothing's listening when you're checking if the port's open. your forward probably works just start the server and check

i had the server up and running when i checked and the port remained closed
does someone have to be connected to the server in order for the port to be open?

huh thats weird
no you don't need to be connected to the server
i'm not sure what the issue could be then. idk i've never used an asus router so idk what the UI on it is like but it should have a port range forward option that allows you to enter a range of ports and forward that to another range of ports on a local IP

You want to use your ipv4 address as your local IP which should be something along the lines of 192.168.1.xx with the x's being random numbers. To find this IP open up cmd and type in ipconfig. Your actual server IP that people connect to will be the IP that shows up when you google whatsmyip
Edit: your protocol should also be set to "both"
Edit 2: example https://gyazo.com/472740b15af61fe5bd5b7e1a09e7a2a8

use ngrok. it allows you to expose a port on your local machine to the internet, typically used for developers to test a local server but it suits your needs.
sign up its free
download it and extract it somewhere (the commands i give below assume you extracted it to your desktop)
open a command line (if you try to double-click the .exe it will just close instantly), im assuming you at least have powershell so enter these commands:
change directory to the location you extracted it
cd C:\Users\lansky\Desktop
you need to set your authtoken (from your dashboard)
./ngrok.exe authtoken YOUR_AUTHTOKEN
run the program
./ngrok.exe tcp 25565
then port 25565 will be exposed to the internet and a URL will be generated that you can share with your friends, will look something like this

they use that URL to connect to your server (instead of your IP address)
so when they connect they use
0.tcp.ngrok.io:11600
