When i log into my router i go to settings but theres a port forwarding IPv4 and IPv6, which one do i have to choose?
if i click on port forwarding IPv4 i click create new item and then it asks me for: mode, lan host and app name, at lan host it already has 3 dots so i just have to fill out my ip i think, not sure cuz im not good at these kinds of stuff.
if i click on port forwarding IPv6 i get the exact same but at lan host its just a long blank thing where you have to fill in something.
Please help!
