Perhaps your ISP blocks the required ports to host a renegade FDS server? Try changing the port number in the server settings. Something like 5555 or 5556 usually seems to work.

If you use a router to connect to the internet anyone else with a router CANNOT join your server. Nothing you can do about it.

That's incorrect
Most routers allow you to open any port you need and forward
it to your PC in your local network. It's called
Port address Translation (PAT), in conjunction with Network Address
Translation (NAT)
When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"

Changing your IP address while the FDS server is running would
fuck up the FDS server I think lol
And updating a setting in the routers config page shouldn't be too
hard

You need to open and forward the port that you have set up in server.ini. www.portforward.com explains how to do this but if you're a novice, I ADVICE you NOT TO DO IT.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Open the windows command line (cmd), enter "ipconfig" and
if you have an IP adress like 192.0.0.0 or 10.0.0.0 then it's
a NAT device.

. E.g. in server.ini you set port = 5555
