I'm attempting to make a web page hosted on an arduino nano 33 iot accesible from non LAN wifi networks using port forwarding. However I'm running into issues with some of the configuration options as I've never done port forwarding before and I'm not sure how(if at all) it differs for my set up compared to ethernet setups. I am hosting my web page on port 80 of the LAN IP adress of my arduino and creating a port forwarding rule in my router settings setting port 80 of my WAN IP adress to forward to port 80 of my arduinos LAN IP address. However when I enter http://xx.xx.xxx.xxx:80 where the x's are my WAN IP address I get a failed to connect to the server error. Is there anything that sounds off here that might be causing issues? Thanks
You need to set your Arduino to a fixed Ip.
I would then , in my router, create a new port number and link that to the ip of the Arduino within the router
Then it should work if you use you WAN : that port number .
Check you don’t use any reserved port numbers .lots of other computer stuff is probably responding to port 80. (?)
