🔌 PORT CHECKER

Check if your Minecraft server port is open and reachable from the internet.

HOW TO OPEN YOUR MINECRAFT PORT

For players to connect to your Minecraft server, you need to forward the server port in your router settings. Java Edition uses port 25565 TCP by default. Bedrock Edition uses port 19132 UDP. After forwarding, use this tool to verify the port is reachable from outside your network.

WHY IS MY PORT CLOSED?

• Firewall — Windows Firewall or a third-party firewall is blocking port 25565. Add an inbound rule to allow it.
• Router port forwarding — You haven't forwarded the port on your router yet. Log into your router and add a port forwarding rule to your server's local IP.
• Server not running — The Minecraft server process must be running for the port to respond.
• ISP blocking — Some ISPs block inbound connections on common ports. Try a different port.
• Wrong IP — Make sure you're using your public (WAN) IP, not your local network IP.
