Ports not opening

[skywalker646]

I'm using windows defender. The problem is that I am forwarding fron the router but that the ports are not opening up on the comuter itself. When I run McDonalds it shows some of the ports open but not all, even though the rules are in place

Are you sure your ports aren't open? I ran into the same issue, or so I thought, until I realized the most commonly recommended port scanner (http://www.canyouseeme.org/) does not perform a UDP scan. The zone ports are indeed UDP.

Try this one instead: https://www.ipfingerprints.com/portscan.php

Be sure to tick the Advanced option and check UDP Scan. GlassDeviant's suggestion may also handle UDP Scanning, I'm not sure. Also, be sure your server is running when you attempt this; if nothing on your computer is actively listening on a port, a port scanner usually won't see it even if your router/PC is configured properly.
