WAMP & Wordpress website not accessible outside home network

I've setup an old PC I had lying around, sat it next to my router, plugged a monitor and a ethernet cable and set up teamviewer, minecraft server (not sure if this changes anything) and WAMP, I had also tried XAMPP, but I preffered WAMP as it had a more user-friendly interface. I continued installing software to make remote management possible, port forwarding and setting up wordpress and WAMP to work alongside each other. I have made it to then point where I have everything I want, except that I cannot access it unless I am on my home network. 

 

What do I do here? I have tried multiple ways to do this - Editing httpd.conf, httpd-vhosts.conf files as the first way, using wordpress plugins and changing wordpress url (not site url - i kept it as http://localhost for ease of access)

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance.

While not ideal (security wise) no-ip will definitely solve this issue:

No. I have set up Google Domains and Port Forwarding on my router using the default external IP given to me by my ISP.

With no-ip that doesn't matter,it deals with things like that as well.

I did what applies to me use case (WAMP and Wordpress), and I cannot connect to my website outside my local area network. I tried VPN that points to Australia (I live in Australia) and North America, and tried my 4G mobile network on my phone and hotspot to laptop.

Is there a green check mark in no-ip?
