Net

For hosting to internet you need:

• Public(also known as "White ip") ip address: For example 10.0.0.0/24, 10.172.0.0/24(and other local ips) is not public ip; You can check this ip in your router, just find Default gateway line
• If your ip is public - just open ports on your router

Now if you did everything correctly and checked the web server should be accessible at your public IP address

If not:

• You haven't powered your board
• Your ip is gray(not pubic)
• If 100% ip is public - the ports were not opened correctly
• Check the logs in the serial monitor - whether the board was connected to wifi

For hiding your origin ip you can use cloudflare and your domain, I won’t write about it here, go on yourself if you need to, I don’t even think this will be useful to anyone, I like writing readme
