Started learning node.js. Wrote a simple chat that works on a local web server (apache). But you need to bring this chat to the Internet, that's the problem. Unable to connect to websocket from internet. The site has global access through my ip, and when accessing it outside the local network, the web socket is not available. How to fix?

If you have a white ip, then it will be enough to forward the ports on the router.
If there is no white ip, use DDNS services, you can configure it on most modern routers or as an application for a PC.

The easiest way is to allow the port you need through NAT in the router. Then go to www.noip.com, register a free account, download and run the program or script you need on your computer (depending on the operating system).
