Still unable to get it working.

I don't technically have a static IP address, however my IP has not changed in over 2 years so I would assume I am ok on that end.

I have no "open port" options in my router's settings, everything I have seen suggests port forwarding is how to open a port on this router but again this in not my area of expertise.

I have setup a port forwarding that I think is correct according to info found on the portforwarding link that was given to me, still fails the port checker and still fails node checker.  Applications appears to be doing what it should.

Here is the port forwarding settings I made in my router config if anyone would like to take a peak......
