Now, when I type my external ip like xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8079, i can access xampp defaults page. But the strange is that when someone else from outside my network, try to access it using the same ip, it doesnt work. I Think it should, because its the external ip.


I'm getting crazy. I have tried for hours to access xampp defaults page from outside my local network.

My ISP blocks port 80 and 8080. So I changed apache to listen to port 8079

Listen 8079

My local computer ip is 10.1.1.2

I can access the webserver, from any computer on my local network when I type http://10.1.1.2:8079

I also oppended the port 8079 on my modem, as the image shows bellow. (I think i did it right)

enter image description here

When apache is running on my computer, if I test the port 8079 at http://canyouseeme.org/ i get the message "Success: I can see your service on xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx on port (8079) Your ISP is not blocking port 8079"

If apache is not running I get "Error: I could not see your service on xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx on port (8079) Reason: Connection refused".

So, it's clear that the port 8079 is oppened. But when I type xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8079 on google chrome for example, I get Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8079

What can I do to solve this, to allow apache to server the pages? I don't know what else I shoud configure.

Please, help me.

Thanks.
