I have RavenDB running on localhost:8080
. I would like to make it externally accessible, just as a test (ignore security concerns for now).
To do so, I configured my router to forward external port 8080
to internal port 8080
of 192.168.0.101
(which is the internal IP address of my machine, as determined by the IPv4 entry of ipconfig /all
).
According to an external port checker, port 8080 is open (external IP is masked):
However, when I go to ExternalIp:8080
, I'm unable to connect. In contrast, InternalIp:8080
works fine.
Given that the port appears to be open, but I can't connect externally, are there any tools or ways of diagnosing where the blockage is happening?
Additional Possibly Relevant Info
- I have Windows Firewall, but turning it off makes no difference.
- Router is Archer C5, modem is Motorola SB6121.
- My ISP only blocks a couple ports, and 8080 is not one of them.
- My external IP is dynamic, but changes very infrequently, and I made sure to use the right one :)
