Mobile Server set up, IP address not working

So I have set up a mobile dedicated server using the link on the official page at the bottom. I set it up on my MacBook air and I can connect to it fine but when I tell my friend my IP he can't join. We have also tried to run the server on his end but that didn't work out either. (Connection timed out) I'm not sure where the problem is. Please help.
 
If you wish for someone to be able to join from outside your network, you just give them your external IP and port forward your router so that connections in port 7777 are sent to your Mac.
 
I did try that but it didn't work I after a bit of research I think I may have to "port forward" the server but I'm not 100% sure if it's safe or how to do it...
