    It is possible that your ISP is blocking port 9 have you tried scanning your ip to confirm it is open. Also if you do not have commercial internet, they may be blocking more than just port 9.


    Use this page to scan to see if Port 9 is open. They have a limited free trial https://www.whatismyip.com/port-scanner/

    I don't think my ISP is blocking my port, but yeah it says it's closed.

    Ok, so if it says closed than one of a few things are amis.

    Either your public IP isn't public

    your ISP blocks ports

    you are checking the wrong ip address

    your router, or fire walls are not letting it through


    I would say double check your IP address using whatsmyip.org

    Who is your ISP?

    Do you have commercial internet, or residential internet?
