Have you port forwarded? And how did you find your IP?

do you have to port forward beyond the "automatically port forward" prompt when starting the server? and I found my IP just by googling it

You have to port forward beyond, yes

I understand, I dont have access to any configuration of my router, so I guess the alternative is to purchase a server from a 3rd party. thanks for the help
