title: How to access Google Cloud Engine instance's IP address via browser
body: <p>I installed a MEAN stack on Google Cloud Engine (GCE) via this <a href="https://cloud.google.com/launcher/solution/click-to-deploy-images/mean" rel="noreferrer">link</a>.</p>
  
  <p>So the engine created my instance successfully and it looks like this:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/QFHja.png" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/QFHja.png" alt="instance&#39;s info on GCE"></a></p>
  
  <p>I created a new firewall rule to accept any incoming requests (actually do I need to do this? default-allow-http has the same rule right?):

  <p>But when I try to access the IP using Chrome, I get an error. The error persists even when I change the browser e.g. IE or Firefox:</p>

  <p>I have confirmed that I can ping the address:

  <p>I even tried to assign a domain name to the instance but it still does not work:

  <p>May I know what I am doing wrongly?</p>
  
  <p>Would appreciate any advice! Thanks in advance!</p>
