I think I am behind a double Nat as I’ve tested your higher than 1024 port option and it hasn’t worked
Comment on [Help request] How do I go about debugging my router?

If your ISP (Internet service Provider) doesn’t have you behind CGNAT or Double NAT (meaning that multiple homes share the same public IP), some ISP block the first block of 1024 ports, so any port below that number is blocked.
If the problem is that ports below 1024 are blocked, but you do have a public IP reaching your home router, you could contact your ISP so they unblock these ports for you (I had to do that once, so at least with my ISP it was as simple as asking).
The way you could test if your public IP reaches your home router is by exposing something on a higher port than 1024 like let’s say 8080, if you can reach a simple web or caddy or any other service from 8080, you can at least confirm, that is the issue.
Be aware that most ISP even if they assign a single IP per house, this IP can be dynamic and can rotate on a regular basis, like daily or weekly

Well, if you are forwarding the ports from your home router, and you can’t reach it’s the most probable cause, if you are, that means that there is no public IP reaching your home router.
You could contact your ISP and confirm if this is the case, they could offer to assign a public IP for an extra fee, your only other option is to rent a cheap VPS and tunnel traffic between it and your home, but at this point you could also decide to host stuff on the VPS.

Oh! I am actually not behind Nat as I did a traceroute towards my public ip and it only did one hop. So it’s seems to be the port forwarding in itself not working

To add some more info to what the others are saying, if your public IP address is in the range
100.64.0.0/10(so between 100.64.0.0 and 100.127.255.255) then it is a CGNAT IP and you will not be able to make port forwarding/NAT work to/from the public internet because your public IP is not actually a publicly routable IP on the internet no matter what your ISP calls it. Hope that helps!darkan15@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Traceroute can be a good hint, another way to confirm is on your router config interface, there should an IP address, subnet and gateway it connects to, with these values you could also verify it depending on what IP ranges it shows.

Hey! I finally got the site up!
