Hi,

That means your firewall / isp / router is blocked / blocked / misconfigured.

Port 80 and Port 443 can’t be connected from outside.

Please check your Router Redirection rule as well as firewall settings.

Thank you

Hi Stevenzhu,

Thank you very much. I’ll get right on it.

Kind regards,

Peter
