The test connection fails. I've followed the suggested fixes I've come across to the best of my ability. I'm certainly no expert, so I'm hoping that I've missed something. I have already contacted my internet provider to help set up static IP and check my port forward. I'd love to use this platform but I'm losing hope, Please Help.

Welcome to FG

As regards question 2 are those octets the same as shown in Fantasy Grounds and on your router?

With Windows defender make doubly sure that it doesn't have multiple rules. If it does delete all of them and set up a new fresh one.

Screenshots of you port forward rule might also help us.

I've got an inbound rule and an outbound rule set. Do I need to delete one of these?

Sorry I missed your first question. Yes they are the same.

You only need an inbound rule as far as I know. Your rule looks ok I think.

If you go to canyouseeme.org (with FG running as if waiting for players to connect) does it see port 1802 as open?

I got rid of both rules and then just made a new inbound rule. canyouseeme did not see me, however, I do finally have a success message on the connection test. I'll have a player try to connect to me later tonight. Hopefully I'm all set. Thanks for your help.
