Hello. Over the past few weeks, I have been attempting to host a web server on my Raspberry Pi 3B. I got everything set up, and I can access the site from my internet connection, but I cannot figure out how to set up the port forwarding to make it public. Can anybody suggest m an answer to this question?
I go to my phone, and turn off the Wi-Fi, therefore only being connected to the internet through my cellular data. Then, I type in the domain that I have connected to the RPi. I know that there is not a problem with the domain, because on my network, I can access the RPi's website through the domain.
The first four lines of trace route www.apple.com:
Ok, it looks like your missing some essential DNS utilities on your RPi.
I suggest that you run the following command to install them: sudo apt install dnsutils
Then reboot, by using: sudo reboot
When the RPi is back up and running, try the traceroute command again.
Hmm. All this should do is install a few DNS "tools" (traceroute, nslookup, etc.). It does not change any settings which would cause your RPi to not be assessable, including disabling the SSH server. Sorry, but not sure what to recommend at this point other than try rebooting or powering cycling it. If neither works, then re-flashing the SD card. Note: This is where I have copies of pre-configured my RPi systems as these card are noted for failing or becoming corrupted.
I checked the settings, and the Airport is the model, "Airport Extreme 802.11ac," and it is the main router on my network. I tried Tesserax's guide, and it didn't solve the problem.
Ok. How would I manually enter the port values?
I believe that I phrased it wrong. I can access the RPi locally, but not from the internet. The RPi is a 3B, and it is running DietPi, connected to the router directly through Ethernet.

The fact that you can access the RPi's web server via a domain name, from your local network, verifies that your local DNS service is resolving the domain name to the local IP address of the RPi.
Please open a Terminal session on your Mac. Then enter the following command and post the results of the first 3-4 lines: traceroute www.apple.com
Ok. Using that, should I do it on my computer or on the RPi? Where would I go from there?
It does not start with 192, 172, or 10.
What command should I use on the RPi? It is saying that traceroute is not found.
I just tried that. It installed fine, but when I rebooted, I was not able to SSH into it anymore. It is no longer responding to Ethernet, and will not connect using it.
Thanks. I wanted to verify that your network is not in a "Double NAT" condition. Line 1 would be the LAN-side IP address of your AirPort Extreme. Line 2 and then on would be the routers between your base station and the Apple servers. Since Line 2 is a public IP address, and not another private one, we know that is not the issue that would be preventing remote access to your network.
You can also verify your WAN-side (public) IP address by using this website: www.findmyip.org
Note: Do not post it, but is should NOT start with either 192, 172, or 10. If it does, then it will be an issue with your ISP that will need to be resolved.
