Port Forwarding Issues - SMARTHUB SH32B

I have been trying to create several rules in order to host a server for a game, although I don't remember it being this difficult as I have done so in the past. I can only select UDP or TCP as the joint option never works. If i create a UDP rule I can't create a TCP rule for the same port i.e. in the screenshot it wouldn't let me create a rule for 8211 for TCP. Not sure how important this is but I also looked up using a website to see if the port was open and was told that 8211 was closed. Why is it that I can't use the UDP/TCP option and why is it that this doesn't open? What I have connected to is my PC device and the IP matches what I see when checking ipconfig. Any help would be appreciated 🙂

What server is the PC running on port 8211? Is that server up & running? It is not sufficient just to open a port but you need the server to be running on it.

I am trying to host a dedicated Palworld server which again I managed to in the past with my old ISP with relative ease. I have the server running and still see this message:

Before I had ports 27015 and 27016 rules set up to as UDP also. This is the guide I was following: https://hub.tcno.co/games/palworld/steam_dedicated_server/

There could be any number of issues sure but I wanted to at least know if it was normal that I couldnt select UDP and TCP rules for the same port, but it has been so long since I last tried using port forwarding that I am not sure now 😞
