1. Have you tried to ping your no-ip to make sure it's pointing to your global IP address?
2. When you start your server, is it binding to your global IP address?
3. Are you 100% sure that your ports are forwarded correctly?
I think it's either your no-ip address that's pointing wrong or your ports that's not forwarded correctly. Try to remove your no-ip domain from config.lua and insert your global IP instead, then try to connect by using that IP.
Also, if you're using Uniform Server as web server:
To allow Internet or Intranet access, edit file .htaccess located in the root folder wwwH):
1. Locate these lines:
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
2. Disable local only access by commenting each line with an hash "#" as shown
#Order Deny,Allow
#Deny from all
#Allow from 127.0.0.1

The error you get at pic 1 is probably your problem. Are you getting the same error if you write your no-ip domain instead? And are you sure that you're using your correct global IP address?
http://www.whatsmyip.org/port-scanner/ //Here can you check if your port is open (from the same computer that's hosting the OT). You can also see your global IP here.
How is your config.lua looking at the port and ip part?
It should look like this:
bindOnlyConfiguredIpAddress = false
loginPort = 7171
gamePort = 7172
adminPort = 7171
statusPort = 7171
and
ip = "your global ip"

Kk, if the port scanner time outs then it's your ports for sure. The LAN IP, is it the same as if you run cmd.exe and type: ipconfig then check your Ipv4 Address?
1. Try to forward by only filling Option 1 in your picture, leave the Option 2 (optional) completly empty, including the ports.
2. Do it the other way, fill the same information at Option 2, including your local IP and same ports as Option 1.
3. Try to only fill out the Option 2 (optional) and leave Option 1 blank (doubt this will work since Option 1 is not optional).
Another question, what router is you using?

Ah sorry, didnt see that. Well, here is a working example:
Looks like you're doing it the right way and again, you're sure it's the correct local IP address (check it in cmd.exe as I wrote above)? The last thing then is to restart your router to make sure the port forwarding take changes.
You said you turned of Windows Firewall, you've no other firewall or AV that might be blocking the ports?

It's normal you can't connect with your global ip to your website and your server.
You have to use 127.0.0.1 or your IPv4 address (192.168.1.80), other people (or from other computers) should connect with your global ip.
If you can see the characterlist with 127.0.0.1 but can't login, it could be that your firewall is blocking it, so try to turn it off or add your server as exception.
Or that you added the wrong ip in config.lua, make sure it's this one: www.whatismyip.com.
If port 7171 and 7172 are open but 80 isn't, it could be it's blocked by an anti-virus program, so if you have one, try to turn it off (or the firewall in it).
