rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2913 / 3 Years ago, sun, november 21, 2021, 8:47:43

I have set an home webserver with my application running.
My machine runs ubuntu 14.04 LTS and i tested it to be working within the devices connected to that router.

I also found the ip address that is assigned to the router for internet and port forwarding is working.
when i type the IP address it opens the apache webserver index.html

http://192.168.1.4/ --- ip address assigned by the router = works.

http://10.1.10.149/ --- ip address assigned to the router = works with port forwarding



my ip address when i use http://whatismyipaddress.com/ ----- 129.217.129.129

how do i find my webserver in the internet.

If your router has been assigned a 10.*.*.* address, then it is not on the public Internet, but is sitting behind another NAT router. This is confirmed by whatismyipaddress.com. To reach your server from the Internet, you would need to get a port forwarding rule in this second NAT router.
