I noticed you figured out port forwarding: congratulations! You may be in want of a domain name next. There's a company called 'DNSExit' that provides free subdomains that'll point towards your IP Address. I use them for my own self-hosted server, at https://kaa.run.place. See http://dnsexit.com/domains/free-second-level-domains/.

Even for purely personal use, it's a lot nicer to type "ssh kaa@kaa.run.place" than "ssh kaa@111.230.7.254", or likewise, "ssh arandomuser@arandomsite.work.gd" instead of "ssh arandomuser@209.25.140.180".

i used playit.gg so it wont accept 209.25.140.180:7007 because its not an ipv4 domain so i will try thru the xfinity app

Routers are generally designed to be accessed from a dedicated local IP address first and foremost. Visiting that address in a browser often provides a login prompt.

Some default to 192.168.1.1, others 192.168.1.254, some at 10.0.0.1, and surely some deault to IP addresses that I don't know of.

@kaa ik what my router ip is, i once logged in to my router and tried to port forward but the port forwarding had to be done on the xfinity website. my problem is that i cant make a xfinity account because of this error: "This information doesn't match our records"

wg2k, there are two ways to do port forwarding on an xfinity router. One of them requires the app, the other requires visiting the router's local IP address. The router login information is often on a sticker on the back of the router. https://www.portforwardinghub.com/routers/comcast-port-forwarding/

Should you need to research more, look for "port forwarding xfinity admin tool", or something similar.

kaa, i cant make xfinity id and i cant login to my router anymore. i tried resetting it so i could login TWICE, but it still wont work. playit.gg seems to be my best option for self-hosting stuff until i get a new router

morrowseer: For those who have a steady source of income, that is the best choice. For those teenagers who don't, however, that's not an option.

wg2k: I understand. I'd do more to help you figure out your router if I reasonably could. Best of luck.

Port forwarding on your internet router. Some providers allow forwarding http's port 80, others only allow port https's port 443. Figure out who your internet company is for more.
