Hi Guys
can anybody tell me the reason why I only can access my server from inside meaning (internal) but cant access it from outside source?

you need to set up port forwarding, What router do you have/(if you have one)firewall, is it http and or anything else?

you probably have NAT running I assume and most likely your IP is not a public IP, so you need to connect to your public IP of the service and then get routed to the private IP of the server.

Or you could just buy VPN software that kind of configures that for you.

Bingo^^^^^

Your ISP might also block certain ports such as port 80 (like mine does). There are ways around it if that is the problem.
