Have you made sure the port is open?

After you opened MSSQL remote connections, did you restart the MSSQL services?

I restarted it several times, 1433 and 1434 TCP and UDP opened.. sqlserver.exe added to exceptions aswell

Edit: also, im confused, i have no idea what to type at "server name" (only ip, or IP,port or ip\sqlexpress etc..)

if u wanna connect (via remote) type: IP\SQLEXPRESS

e.g. 87.75.123.21/SQLEXPRESS
