For internal port, external port, or anything mentioning the word “port”, enter 25565. This is the port that Minecraft servers use.

Lastly, for your “local” or “IPv4” address, enter the IPv4 address we found earlier. This may also be a “device” selection. If that’s the case, select the device you are making your Minecraft server on.
