Solved Host Names

hey im using go lily pad to try and make an integrated network with mine and my friends servers, and id like to use hostnames in the proxy so we can connect to the Connect easier with our separate proxies in different locations, but im having trouble setting this up
the connect comes up with no messages in the consol while the proxy says
"Connect client, Couldn't connect to remote gist: dial tcp '[externalip/(or hostname):5091': cennectEx tcp: A connection attempt failed because the connected partu did not properly respond after a period of time, or the established connection failed because the host failed to respond"

i have port forwarded the 5091 port, im currently just trying this on my own computer
the same error occurs when i attempt to use my external ip instead of the hostname
is there a way to use external ips
my hostname provider is no-ip
i havent got a minecraft server turned on yet as i cant get the proxy and connect working together

ok 25565 and 25566 have been port forwarded,

connect.yml
bind: :5091
logins:
- username: lp
password: pass
- regexp: entry
password: pass
- regexp: survival
password: pass
- regexp: pixelmon
password: pass

proxy.yml:
connect:
address: [hostname]:5091 or [external:ip]:5091
credentials:
username: lp
password: pass
proxy:
bind: :25565
routes:
- domain: ""
servers:
- entry
- survival
- pixelmon
locale:
full: The server seems to be currently full. Try again later!
offline: The requested server is currently offline. Try again later!
loggedIn: You seem to be logged in already. Try again later!
lostConn: Lost connection... Please try to reconnect
shutdown: The server is being restarted. Please try to reconnect
motd: A LilyPad Server
maxPlayers: 15
authenticate: true

i was going to host the connect, and [3 of us currently] all hosting the proxy
im the core of the system

ill host the hub server, [and two other servers] and we want their servers to connect to my hub server [1 server each]
i will host the connect and a proxy
my friends will also host a proxy for each of them
how do i bind the connect to my external ip [and/or hostname which syncs with my external ip]
sorry for not being clear

oh oops i forgot to port forward 5091,
my router is weird, i have to make an outbound service, port forward and make the service to port forward stuff, most other routers only seem to need to port forard and make the service
EDIT:
i got it working now

yes
thank you for your time
