[Problem]

UDP/TCP Port 19132 for IPv4 not listening when bedrock_server.exe is running

[Goal]
To allow my Bedrock Server to allow Outside of My Network Connections

[Troubleshooting]

confirmed that my firewall is forwarding this port properly
confirmed that the port 19132 when used with another type of server (Apache HTTPd), can display as OPEN.
and just to prove i'm not crazy about the open port; some friends of mine was able to access the Apache Server on port 19132 from the outside, screenshots attached. (IP Address redacted; but host name visible)

and No; I do not run Apache HTTPd & Bedrock Dedicated Server at the same time; I only used Apache HTTPd as a "test" to see if I can access the port remotely (in which i can).

also I've attempted to run Bedrock Dedicated Server with another port number (Prior to testing BDS's Default IPv4 Port with Apache HTTPd) and that does not detect as open either.

been running from 1.18.31 to current (1.19.63)
