Yes, but something is wrong, if you rummaged through your questions you haven't had anyone on your server before, so something doesn't fit…
I've already written what I suspect you have… (DS-Lite)
With DS-Lite you can correctly release the port 1000 times, your external IP can't be reached. No chance.
Host over IPv6 or leave it alone…
I know my way around, I have the same problem, but I have solved it differently, because Ark servers don't run on IPv6, Minecraft do…
I added the IPv6 to the server setting. But now this comment
Minecraft Java Edition only supports IPV4.
Em. What is it now?
Should I take the IPV6 or IPV4 now?
Minecraft can do IPv6 as well
IPv6 because with DS Lite (Dual Stack Lite) your IPv4 is not a real IPv4 address and can't be reached by others.
And then with my friend it says: it is not a valid IP
Because he probably has an Ipv4 only
What does that mean again?
But if I take the IPV4 that doesn't work either
Yes because you don't have IPv4 ^^ because of DSLite
Huh? But do I have an IPV4? Everyone has that
Yes you have one but that is a private one not publicly accessible due to DSLite
And what do i do now?
Only a portmapper or VPN would help or your colleague hosts the server.

And why doesn't the IPV6 work?
Because your colleague is IPv4 only how often ^^ if others have IPv6 then the IPv6 also works
Great that means I can't start the server
Correctly recognized unless you get a portmapper on a server that has a real IPv4 but costs a few euro / month or you ask your provider whether he can switch to dual stack or whether IPv4 will probably cost.
Ok thanks for your help
Unfortunately that didn't help me, the provider no longer awards dual stacks…
But it doesn't matter, because you can do a lot with 6Tunnel, or with VPN, just as the admin can do.
Incidentally, the captain on the question is mine
You can ask your provider to activate IPv6 …
I did so at Vodafone, the support still said "that doesn't work", but whoops, after 5 minutes I had my IPv6 and can now watch and control all my cameras that guard my house from my cell phone.
