Was trying to set up Minecraft server with port forwarding, and it isn't seems to be working.

1. I checked I have a public IP address.

2. I created a rule saying traffic from the internet should be allowed for TCP Port 25565 (the Minecraft server). I created a duplicate rule for UDP.

When I go and test this, the port is still closed and there are 0 Hits, so I can't even see the check coming in. This all works fine when I am connecting from one local machine on the network to the machine hosting said Minecraft server. I would think this means it has to be an issue with some config within Firewalla. 

What else do I need to do or check?

  Does your Minecraft server have its own application firewall? 

  Port forwarding is a pretty simple feature, it is pretty rare to see it not working
