I agreed to Eula, port forwarded the port to 25565, even tried different ipv4 ip's, and my friend still could not connect. I am able to connect to the server using local host, but she said she could not connect, gave her the right IP as well. Hope someone can help!
 
Port forward + making exception in eventual local firewall on the machine that's hosting, that should be it.

(if you're on windows - EDIT: And only use the built in one - you can do this: open "RUN" windows key + R - paste this:
powershell -command "start-process powershell -command "New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow 25565 for Minecraft Server" -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -Profile Any -LocalPort 25565 -Protocol TCP" -verb runas"

and press OK.
Explanation of what it does:
Opens PowerShell as admin and adds a rule to allow incoming traffic on port 25565 and setting a name for the rule)

You can use this tool to check if the server is responding from the outside:

In server.properties - leave that empty

It says this when i enter the command
Start-Process : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'command'.
At line:1 char:26
+ start-process powershell -command "New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName " ...
+ ~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: :)) [Start-Process], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartProcessCommand
It just shows the text in red, so i dont think the command worked.
 
Start a PowerShell window as admin and just run this part:
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow 25565 for Minecraft Server" -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -Profile Any -LocalPort 25565 -Protocol TCP

sorry for the derp
