ANSWERED Port Forwarding is not working

[@Yang 3]

Hello,
I can connect to the server, but port forwarding is not working. A port test shows "connection refused."
I need help.

Is it my ISP blocking it? It used to work fine before, but it recently stopped working.

Connection refused means it was able to connect but on your host nothing is listening on port 18992.

There’s nothing listening on the port? I’m using Windows 11, the network firewall is turned off. I’m currently using Eddie version 2.24.6. Is port listening managed by Eddie? Is it an issue with my computer system? I switched to using Eddie on Android and still got connection refused. What should I do?

What are you trying to reach via VPN? Whatever the program is, it must run, of course.

Of course, none of my applications can connect through the forwarded port, and changing the port doesn’t solve the problem either.

Then it's probably not listening on the VPN interface. What program are you trying to reach via VPN, anyway?

eMule. I’ve already made sure that the eMule listening port matches the VPN’s forwarded port. Yet I still get a Low ID, whereas before I used to get a High ID. That shouldn’t happen—ideally, once the VPN tunnel is successfully established and the server forwards the port, the client should be able to communicate over that port through a properly open public network. The ISP can’t possibly intercept a port’s communication through the VPN tunnel, right?

I see. Have a look at these..

Thank you very much.
Port forwarding has resumed normal operation again. It was an issue with the Windows 11 firewall. Although the firewall had previously been turned off, at some point it was automatically re-enabled—probably due to a Windows 11 policy. Once I disabled it again, everything worked fine.
Thank you. I really appreciate your help.
