I have been having an issue with port forwarding for some time now. I am trying to host a minecraft server for me and some friends and have opened port 25565 as this is the default port for minecraft and minecraft servers. I was able to connect my device in the Ignite Home Connect app and successfully added the port but when checking the ports it shows they are closed. I also had a friend check from his end to see if it was an issue with pinging my own ports but it shows closed for him as well. I am able to connect to the minecraft server using my local IP and have ruled that out. We also tried using a second port (25577) but are still unable to get the port open despite everything in the app saying its fine.
Any insight appreciated.

Hello @DForto
I resolved the issue. Please ensure that the machine you are using has only IPv4 enabled and IPv6 disabled. If you are using Proxmox, you can refer to this forum post for guidance.
Next, please add a static IP address to your server using the Home Connect mobile application. Here’s how:
I hope this helps! 🙂

Hi @RogersZia
I am encountering the same issue. I contacted technical support, but unfortunately, it didn’t resolve the problem. I have several ports successfully forwarded; however, port 25565 is not functioning as expected, while all others are working fine.
I look forward to your assistance.
Best regards
