I have port forwarded correctly and disabled antivirus on my VM (also running bridged mode). I can start the client and it will run in the background but it won't show up in the connections list. A photo of the port forwarding is below

I'm pretty sure it's due to trace back as I was trying to use my external ip when testing on the same vm. I tried using my internal and it worked. If I want to try it on another device now (ethical (my other devices)) would I need to use my external ip? It's all set up with port forwarding.

Glad you figured it out! Yes, you should use your external IP for devices outside your LAN.

Is there any point in using No-IP? Does it work as well? Also what are the benefits of using that instead of a general External IP? I know you need to keep the DUC open at all times. The only reason I know for using No-IP is that no one can fin your IP from reverse engineering but are there any other reasons to use it? Also what would you suggest, regular External IP or No-IP?
