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! 🙏

Do you have any service listening on port 80? If not, I'd close it in the firewall and disable the forwarding in the router. Also sounds like a bad idea to set your router security to 'low', whatever that means for your router.

You can use a tool like this to check if your ports are accessible from the internet: https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/

@bravemonkey The plan was to set it to low temporarily. The choices were high, medium, low, or off. One of the ports Traefik listens on is 80. I used portchecktool.com and it told me the connection was timing out.

So that means the router isn't forwarding the ports to your devices. As others have said, it could be the ISP blocking it or it could be a configuration issue in the port fowarding.
