Making an apache2 ubuntu webserver public

[bas_5_]

I opened up port 80 (tcp) which will redirect to the appropiate IP, however I can only connect locally and my friends can't see the website, for them it times out. I also allowed access to the firewall and added apache as exception.

That may be something as simple as your ISP blocking port 80. Many ISP's do, to prevent running a 'server'.

Well, you need to determine if that is actually the case.

Well I even tried fully opening the firewall, lets just try this. I am also gonna try it at our schools server room in port 80 considering it's a school project
