I have a running home server (using Windows 7), and inside the LAN I can surf the site. I have made the necessary changes in the firewall and forwarding the port in router.
Sadly, when I try to get the site from outside the LAN by the external ip (and the port I'm forwarding), I can't reach the site. like it doesn't exist.
I'm pretty sure I did the forwarding right, because when I try to surf the web from a computer in the LAN, and use the router external ip (and the port), I get my website.
All the guides stops here. I have search the web for days - and nothing.
I know it doesn't matter, but I tried apache2.4 , tomcat, xampp and even built my own server with Java - none of them worked outside of the LAN
Most likely your ISP blocks incoming connections on port 80 - nothing you can do about. – Eugen Rieck – 2016-01-31T18:20:57.133
Did you try ports other than 80? Something like 8080 or whatever. You only need to modify the port forwarding rule to try this. – Daniel B – 2016-01-31T18:21:53.703
Do you have a true public IP or are you behind CGN? If the latter its game over. Or your forward simply isnt working (some routers require a firewall change first). – Linef4ult – 2016-01-31T18:26:32.867
i tried other port - they get the same result. @DanielB – Sahar Milis – 2016-01-31T20:21:20.687
the ip starts with 84.XXX.X.XX . so, i'm not under CGN. @Linef4ult – Sahar Milis – 2016-01-31T20:29:47.917
