Does your ISP block ports? Many do, at least where I am. Some allow you to opt-out.

Try going to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080 in your web browser (replacing the x’s with your public IP address), on your home connection. If it doesn’t work, it means that your port forwarding is probably not working. If the page loads correctly, it means your port forwarding is working correctly, and the problem is probably your ISP doing port blocking.

I’m trying it just now, the website is not loading. It keeps buffering but nothing happens, it eventually just times out

Are just the specific http/SSH ports blocked?

No, it was a cgnat or something like that.

CGNAT blows, and it’s the reason I pay for a VPS. They have an option to get a static, public facing IP, but it’s more expensive than my VPS, so screw 'em.
