Can't access local WordPress server from outside networks (via internet)

    I’m trying to share a WordPress blog I have set up on a Linux VM from home with the outside world (using nonstandard port 8010). I’m using duckdns.org to redirect my router’s IP.

    From within my network, I access my WordPress homepage via the host’s IP 192.168.0.15.

    I’ve configured port forwarding on the router and using duckdns I can get to certain pages just fine such as

    http://website.duckdns.org:8010/wp-admin
    (redirects to local network 192.168.0.15/wp-admin…)
    http://website.duckdns.org:8010/wp-login.php
    (redirects to local network 192.168.0.15/wp-login.php…)

    however when I try to go to the homepage which I’m guessing is http://website.duckdns.org:8010/ I get error ‘This webpage is not available. website.duckdns.org took too long to respond.’

    I think at some point I need to change the 192.168.0.15 directory paths to ‘website.duckdns.org/<content goes here>’ but I’m also not sure in which files that needs to be done.

    Can someone point me in the right direction to troubleshoot? Or which config files you need to see?
