So, I got NGINX Running, It works with 2 pc's locally.
I am trying to figure out how I can send two other people the capture of the OBS over the internet across the country to let them use as a source for their stream.

I can not find any info on how to do this, as everyone has guides about doing it locally, so 192.168.10.1 for example is the ipv4 address to access the stream locally through VLC.

How do I let them see it over the internet for them on their end through vlc? As sadly it didn't work when we tried.

Much appreciated...
 
192.168.10.1 might be your "internal" IP. It might not be the publicly visible IP for your system. Depending on your ISP/network setup, your particular system may not even be accessible publicly. If this is the case, a workaround is to setup NGINX on the cloud, say an Amazon/Google cloud instance, and then get your friends to access that. If its just 5-10 people accessing the stream, Amazon's free tier instance should do the job, so it won't cost you any money (for 12 months at least)
 
You could set your public ip on an DYNDNS Service but thats way too much work though its easier compared to what regstuff said.
