Question How to host server public?

[65982465]

I'm hosting a 1.20.1 paper java minecraft server, essentialsx, worldedit, multiverse are installed and working.
I can reach the server over localhost, not so over public network.
Created a port forward for internal IP 192.168.1.200 with port 25565 and made sure no connections are blocked in firewall software.
The vanilla minecraftserver i host is rechable over my private IP over public internet, but not so with the paper server.
How can i get it working so my friend can join?

Paper and vanilla behave the same for network accessibility. There is no difference.

Also, 1.20.1 is dangerously outdated. Prioritize getting your server updated to 1.21.4 or 1.21.5 first!
