Question / Help I can't watch my stream outside of my network.

[Titogarcia05]

Let me start with "I am a complete noob when it comes to computers and computer talk". But i somehow managed to get OBS to stream inside of my network using NGINX. However, i want people outside of my network to be able to livestream from my stream output on VLC player. I went into Windows defender and opened up port 1935 incoming and outgoing on both TCP and UDP, but nothing. Below is my config. Please feel free to send all recommendations my way. Thanks!

Just changing your Windows firewall settings is necessary but not sufficient. You have to configure your router to forward port 1935 from the router's public IP to the local IP of your computer.
