When I start my Aternos server and it is ready and online, I go into my minecraft java game and use Direct Connection and enter my IP and port if the format of SERVERADDRESS:PORT
It fails to connect after about 10 seconds with the following message:
io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectException: Connection refused: no further information
This is a new Aternos server and I have never been able to connect to it yet.
I don't know what could be causing this.
Thank you for your help.
