Website can only be viewed on the network????

[TheComputerdude]

I have an issue that is much weirder than it is on the surface if not simple to boil down. If I go to my website www.christophersites.com and am connected to the same internet as the server it connects just fine. However if I am on a different network ie school or cellular nothing happens even if I try going to website directly using the WAN ip. HELP ME PLEASE

Either your firewall or your isp firewall is blocking it.

When you did set up the domain, did you set it up with your local/intranet IP (starting with 192.168.x.x) or did you add your public domain.

 

Did you set up the ports of your server propperly? For example, if you are using port 8080 instead of 80, it should be set-up in the domain.

 

Did you port forward in your modem?

 

What happens if you try to acces your public IP with propper port from school/mobile phone/non-home-network?

I did an nslookup of the domain name and it's using a public IP, I think it's either a wrong port, no port forwarding, or ISP is blocking.

Go to http://canyouseeme.org on the same network as the server and try for your website port. If your using windows server outgoing requests on port 80 are blocked by default so you will have to add a rule in firewall for that. Also make sure that the A record for your domain name is pointed at your public IP and not somewhere else. Let me know if this helps.

I once had a modem, where I couldn't acces my own public IP on port 80 and/or 8080. The modem interface was using one of the two ports for it's web interface. (it would run it's own webserver for the interface?!?) And whenever I would try to go to an page I was hosting, I got that modem login page. But that's something completely different then your issue...

Port forwarding is enabled my worry is the ISP may be blocking any good way to test this???

Well the site itself returns a 403 error, is that what you're talking about?

Sorry if it's in here somewhere but do you host the site on your own internet or do you have it through some sort of hosting company?

no sorry for the confusion that is my laptop try the https then you will be hitting the actual server also it is my own internet

Hmmm yeah https just doesnt respond.

 

Since you are using https I assume you have tcp port 443 open? https uses tcp 443 while http uses tcp port 80
