Port Forwarding for a Minecraft server not working

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Was tossing up between posting here and General but I’ve only just started using RouterOS so I figured posting here would give easier-to-follow info.

For the past couple weeks I’ve been trying to use WinBox to add a port forward rule to my MikroTik router for Minecraft (port 25565) for a gamer server.

I’ve been following both the official MikroTik documentation and multiple forum posts here for help but still can’t get any outside connections to the Minecraft server.

However, I can see that the dst-nat rule is accepting packets.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :slight_smile:. I can attach any details on what I’ve done.

Good, minecraft is evil! Go out and get some exercise LOL.
You need to put a wreath of garlic on the front door and put up crosses in all the room…oh wait thats vampires.

For port forwarding here is a link… (see destination nat)
