Originally trying to connect to my server would give me
(java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: no further information: )
This is the same output that an offline or non-existent server would give. After I did a port forwarding for port 25565, the error message as soon as I try to connect is now
(Internal Exception: java.io.IOException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host)
So, now my computer can reach the server thanks to port forwarding, but it is denied access. I have whitelist off, and most of my other server properties are default. Also, it does say (Logging in...) just before the error message is displayed.
