I tried with the same machine using 127.0.0.1 and it's working. I tried with different machines on the same network using the local ip (168.192.X.X) and it's working. I tried with different machines on different networks using the external ip (84.X.X.X) but doesn't work.

84.x.x.x being your router address? Would it need to know which machine it should forward requests to?
v
Yes, 84.X.X.X is my router address. So, have i got to configure the router to forward the request?

Based on my memory of setting up LAMP about 10 years ago - Yes. I think so 😄

Ok, thank you. I'm going to try it.

Good luck!

You need a portforward
Or use IPv6, but that's most of the time not worth the effort and isn't as compatible or stable as IPv4.
BTW. Be aware, that most user grade internet connections reconnect once a day and get a new IP. That problem is fixable by using a DynDNS. Just search for it. You will get a domain name to connect to.
