I'm new to self-hosting and struggling to get my services accessible externally. I'm using Traefik as a reverse proxy on a Raspberry Pi 500 running Stormux (Arch Linux ARM-based). My public IP resolves correctly via Dynu DNS, and ports 80 and 8444 are forwarded in my router. I've configured Traefik to use port 8444 for HTTPS, but external connections time out. I’ve tried:
• Forwarding ports 80 and 8444 in my router
• Allowing ports in iptables and FirewallD
• Setting my router's firewall to low security
• Verifying Traefik is listening on port 8444 locally (works with curl)
• Using Authelia for authentication (middleware configured in Traefik)
Internal access works fine, but external access fails. Could this be an ISP block or something I’m missing? Any advice is appreciated! 🙏

@RareBird15
Most ISPs do block incomming traffic by default. You should contact them and request to enable it.

@geillescas @selfhost @selfhosting @selfhosted @linux I'll have to see about this. I'm not the account holder and the one who is, my stepdad, isn't exactly tech-savvy. My router did have a firewall blocking traffic, but I changed its security level and looked at the rules, so that shouldn't be an issue anymore.
