Hi,
So I'm home hosting a server on a machine that I've used to host servers with before. Back when I used this machine, I had a different router. When I port forwarded the machine to my network back when I had my old router, I was able to join as well as others. Now, when I try to port forward, other players can access it, but not me. I know the reason has to do with the fact most routers can't support connecting to itself, and I was told to instead connect with my IPv4 IP, however that doesn't work either. I can't connect to the server at all, not even with my IPv4 address. I have no clue why, when I look my problem up people will be able to solve it by connecting to their IPv4 address, but it still doesn't work. People on different networks can connect fine though. Also, I'd like to mention the computer that I'm on is not the machine running the server, it is a different computer.
Here is my port forward rule:

have you set it to TCP or UDP? Because it should be TCP/UDP (TCP and UDP together) if TCP/UDP is not ONE option, try making a rule for 25565 TCP then a seperate one for 25565 UDP
1
I set it to "ALL", which is both TCP and UDP

ok. then what is the port not of the rule but of the actual server itself (find it in server.properties)

Whats your server ip?? also try putting in the ip as "localhost" and then connecting see if that works ;)

I tried localhost, and that still didn't work. It didn't work probably because the computer I'm using to play Minecraft is different than the computer I'm using to run the server

use the local ip of the server not the external one

Yep, like I said in my post I tried the local IP (IPv4), it still does not work.

ipv4 is a protocole could be external or internal so that part was pretty much a waste of space
