I have a web server setup on a device which has the IP address 

192.168.2.12

I can connect to this IP via the same network, however, when I try to connect to my public IP and port forward to this IP, the browser fails to load. The error - ERROR

Settings

  • Forward port 80 to 192.168.2.12 using TCP
  • Forward port 443 to 192.168.2.12 using TCP

Settings

My public IP is 

123.201.94.235

So I tried connecting to 

123.201.94.235:80
123.201.94.235:443

But both failed.

Note that when I ping

123.201.94.235

the router replies.

What am I doing wrong?

  • Are you testing the connection from inside or from outside the LAN? – u1686_grawity Jan 11 '19 at 17:09
  • @grawity I have tried both. None work unless I use the internal IP (which can be used only from inside the LAN) – Lumin Jan 11 '19 at 17:10
  • Then focus first on getting connections _from outside_ working; those are the simplest case. Port-forwarded connections from inside are very problematic ([see also](https://superuser.com/q/1294426), [see also](https://superuser.com/q/990076), [see also](https://superuser.com/q/1281199), [see also](https://superuser.com/q/454458)) – u1686_grawity Jan 11 '19 at 17:17
  • It might be somewhat helpful to know the make and model of your router. Are there any other routers or firewall appliances in front of this router which traffic from the outside world will need to hop across to get to the server you are forwarding the traffic to? If this your Internet router or is your Internet router just a bridge with no rules or what? – Vomit IT - Chunky Mess Style Jan 12 '19 at 07:37
  • @PimpJuiceIT I use a belkin router, and there are no firewalls except the one that comes with the router built-in – Lumin Jan 12 '19 at 12:24
