hi, @Zidlyx.
so, your computer is behind the router. and if you set public ip that means that you actually set ip of the router. so you need to setup port forwarding from external address to internal.

your photon server config should attach listeners to all _available_ for this pc addreses by setting 0.0.0.0 instead of address. So it will be attached only to address which your machine has. but in LoadBalancing.dll.config you need to set you public IP for GS. this public ip will be sent to your players and they will use it to connect to your server

best,
