People outside my local network cant connect to my server, even after port forwarding
I have added the port to my router.
And added port 25565 to my firewall, and contacted my ISP, i added 192.168.0..169 as a static ip for my pc where the minecraft server is hosted.
When someone trys to join by using publicip:25565 they get discornected and get a error message "Connection Refused".
I dont know what to try.

Add an exception to your firewall or temporarily turn it off.
Port forwarding allows for other devices outside the network to attempt connections to a device within your network - but that does nothing when your device refuses the connection.
