### ✅ Step 5: Test External Access (5 minutes)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**From your PC (should work):**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- <http://houseofprayer.ddns.net:5000/api/health>
|
||
|
|
- <http://houseofprayer.ddns.net:3000>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**From phone using mobile data (turn off WiFi):**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Open browser
|
||
|
|
- Go to: <http://houseofprayer.ddns.net:3000>

## 🔍 Troubleshooting
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Can't access externally?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. **Check No-IP DUC** - Must show "Up to Date" in green
|
||
|
|
2. **Check router** - Port forwarding rules must be saved
|
||
|
|
3. **Check firewall** - Rules must exist and be enabled
|
||
|
|
4. **Check servers** - Both must be running
|
||
|
|
5. **Wait 5 minutes** - DNS changes take time to propagate
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Run diagnostics
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```powershell
|
||
|
|
# Check if servers are listening
|
||
|
|
netstat -an | Select-String ":3000|:5000"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Test No-IP resolution
|
||
|
|
nslookup houseofprayer.ddns.net
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Check firewall rules
|
||
|
|
netsh advfirewall firewall show rule name=all | Select-String "Church"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
