It gives me the same warning every time but I am able to see all the servers, make sure you don't have any filters and try port forwarding.

depends on your router

each router got his own menue check out youre routerhandbook how to open the router menue.
mostly its "open youre browser and type in adressfield the router ip (192.168.X.1)
once youre inside the router menue search for something like "port forwarding" or "open ports" ect. pp.

The programm i postet is only to check if youre ports are realy open.
