I was kinda determined to do the entire thing without asking for help but I'm stuck...
I've completed everything practically, the only thing I have left is making it so normal users can connect without being on the same wifi as me (currently I can connect as long as I'm on my wifi).
I have gone with some free hosting to put the domain up on and I'm just having issues, I feel like I know what I'm missing here I just cant figure it out. I created a index.html with some random letters in it that wil display on the homepage but everytime I go to my URL google just tells me that it timed out (basically the message you would get if the site was offline).
I have the SVR or whatever theyre called records set up on cloudflare (none of the records are taking advantage of the cloudflare ip masking because obviously that would cause issues, I'm only using cloudflare for the DNS). And I also have a record for the CNAME and A record for the IP (the ip is infact the server ip and it isn't some gypsy reverse proxy shit or anything).
1. Why wont the site come online, do you guys think it's an issue with hosting or the fact that there's weird records added (SVR records). site came online, read the question below thats my only issue i believe.
2. Why cant users connect who are not on my wifi?
3. What should my DNS look like exactly?
Remember, please take whatever response youre thinking and dumb it down because I'm dumb as hell.
Also I'm on windows10 using ProtgreSQL as a DB.
