when using tcp, i can connect fine using the ip address from
http://www.whatismyip.com. however, when i switch to udp, only private ip addresses work (in my case, 192.168.xxx.xxx). how do i fix this?

Are you behind a firewall? If so, perhaps you need to do port forwarding?

all firewalls are down and yeah i have port forwarding activated in the router's settings. i'm just curious as to why it works when using TCP but not when using UDP.

because you probably forgot to set TCP+UDP in the NAT port forwarding setting
