    Hello everyone! I'm having a hard time getting my pocketmine mp server working externally. I can connect locally just fine. I've narrowed down the issue to being pocketmine mp itself. I've tested this by running an Apache server on the same port and that works fine externally. However when I shutdown the apache server and swtich back to pocketmine mp on the same port and same machine it does not work externally. I have lots of experience port forwarding and working with firewalls professionally. This seems to be entirely an issue with pocketmine mp. I've even tried irunning the server on Ubuntu server and a Windows box. Anyone have an ideas?

    PM version: [Server thread/INFO]: This server is running PocketMine-MP 3.11.6 for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition v1.14.0 (protocol version 389).
    PHP version: 7.3.14
    OS: Windows 10 1909 (OS Build 18363.752)
    Plugins: 0

    You need to port forward udp port instead of tcp

    I have UDP and TCP forwarding. I actually figured it out I was checking the port to see if it was open and the site I was using kept saying it was closed. I ended up connecting my iPad to mobile data and then connecting externally and it worked. I guess I was just assuming the port would come back as open just like my apache server. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
