Answer 1

Bind the port in the router and use your ip and not the localhost ip

Answer 2

You should forward the port that you use in the Client and Server and you use the IP from the Server, you can get it with ipconfig in the console or just Google (what is my ip)

Answer 3

Ipv4 is you ip and if this wont work try putting the port after your ip like this:
192.168.166.90:9998
And check if the port 9998 is used by other programs with the task Manager

Answer 4

You should try to make an xampp Server and foreword Port 80 and try to acces your ip in the Browser. And if this wont work it is not possible. Or you can try do create an domain with noip. I feel sorry for you but i dont know what else to do, i never created a Server with python ):
