I want to port forward some ports but I'm having some trouble understanding how to do it since it asks for a trigger port and I can't find a trigger port for the application i want to run. I also looked at the virtual server option but I don't understand what it does since after applying the changes the selected ports were still closed.
My system is on a static IP, and is running Ubuntu 16.04.

This is about configuring your router right? Which is presumably not running Unix/Linux?

No worries. If it's about the router itself, it has nothing to do with Unix/Linux and is off-topic here. I'd try Superuser, perhaps.

Apart from the port forwarding
in Virtual Servers section of your router, you need to:
Open the port(s) in your firewall, presumably
iptables.The ports still remain closed if no application is configured and running on that port. Be sure to launch it.
An example
Suppose you want to open port for your SSH on non-standard port, say 57329, then you would do:
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 57329 -m comment --comment "SSH" -j ACCEPT
Possible culprit
You also don't mention in your question if your router has a public IP or not. If not, it won't ever work. Sometimes you need to pay your ISP for it, sometimes not. Please verify this and clarify in your question.
As for your claim:
My system is on a static IP, and is running Ubuntu 16.04.
Well, your computer might have static IP, but is it a public IP? I doubt so.
Based on your previous effort on a static IP, which I see here, I highly doubt you have a public IP on your router.

After a bit of reading I now understand the differences between internal/external ip addresses and the advantages of a static ip. So to answer your question, no I don't have a public static ip address. Im guessing it would be impossible for me to port forward right? btw thanks for putting up with my ignorance

@paranormalbrotivity Yes, it is impossible without public static IP. I am sorry. No need to apologize. We all need to learn.
