Port Forwarding - Port not opened

[news]

[wireless]

Hi, I'm trying to a host Minecraft server with my ASUS router behind the T3200M modem (provided by Telus)

Here's what it looks like:
T3200M -> ASUS Zen Wifi -> PC

All of these are wired. When I try to host my Minecraft server, people not on the same network cannot connect. I have enabled port bridging on the modem and port forwarded on my ASUS router. As a debugging step, I even connected to the modems network (wirelessly) and proceed to port forward on there, same result. All of this I was checking on a port checker and a friend connecting.

Locally, I can connect to my server just fine using localhost. I can also connect to it using my public ip and even my reverse proxy ran through cloudflare! I have checked on other devices to verify this just wasn't my friend.


For info:

Port: 25565
Windows firewall: Configured for server

Any ideas?
