Can host a game: Mac OS

Firewall is off. It seems when I host a game it doest connect to the server.

Discussion about the game and its default mods.

This is what I get. "Server port not accessible"

I have firewall turned off. Is there anything else I have to do?

Punch a hole into your router.

Hole punched! I added a TCP port for 1234 in my Google Wifi router. Still get the same message. Any ideas?

Your ISP may (and usually does) implement NAT with dynamic IPs, which doesn't allow explicit outside connections like OpenRA sets up, because there is one or several relays on the route between your local system and outside world that can't be punched through. You'd need either an explicit static IP feature ordered from your ISP, or a DDNS service implementing the linkage.
