Got my server set up and it's running properly, was able to connect through localhost on my server, but when I try to connect to the IP through my home PC client it says connection refused? The IP and ports match perfectly. Not sure what to do!
 
If you trying to connect to the public IP from a machine that's behind that same Public, sometimes this will not work due to the router blocking NAT Hairpinning.

You may have to ask a friend outside to test this for you, if your router does not allow for NAT hairpinning.
 
Ahh there you go. Honestly it's been so long since I've done this I forgot to check, thanks for the reminder. Now I have to figure out how to open it through my server's control panels or whatever... cheers!
