You must forward UDP 16000 in your router configuration and point it to the local ip address of your computer.

Please show me a screenshot of a Port Forwarding Rule and I will tell you, what to fill in the gaps.

The port forwarding rule must point to your computer's local ip address, not to the one of your router!

Voobly    192.168.1.96    16000    16000    16000    16000    UDP

should do the trick!

Unplug the power cable of your router and re-plug it, then join an AOC game lobby and run the network diagnostics from the menu. Paste me the result here, please.
