title: Wamp server is unable to access using public ip address
body: <p>I have trying to connect my phone with the wampserver I created and is looking forward for an OTP based application. I aim to have a different network for both the PC and mobile and look forward to use public IP for accessing. To enable port forwarding I have changed the port in httpd.conf to </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Listen 8080</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>and in my router settings I have added separate entries: one for TCP and one for UDP packets.</p>

  <p>Lastly, I have also enabled </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>#   onlineoffline tag - don't remove</p>
    
    <blockquote>
  <pre><code>Require all granted
  </code></pre>
    </blockquote>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>in the httpd.conf file as well. Technically, I should be able to access my wampserver by </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>http://{public IP address}:{8080}/</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I have also given access to the port 8080 in my firewall, but when I do check online the status of port in public IP, it shows <strong>8080 port is closed on the {public IP address</strong>}. Unfortunately, I am not able to access the following server. I am bit confused at the moment and I guess I am stuck with something really silly. I will be deeply obliged if anyone could help me with the issue.</p>
