Problem Description

Issue

im 100% doing something wrong, but from what i can tell the IP other people use to connect to my server is for some reason my Private IP address, and my public address is not an option to pick from. What have I dont wrong here?

Reproduction Steps

  • Looked through all Network and connectivity settings/config and out of all the IP options to port forward and allow others to connect are all my private IP v4 address and i cant find where to switch it to my public
  • restarted the app after numerous configuration tweaks
  • done as much research as i can tolerate before making this ticket

You don’t bind the server to the public IP, because that’s not an IP “owned” by that machine.
You port forward the local IP and port in your router, and leave the server binding as 0.0.0.0 (which just means “all network interfaces on that machine”)
