The XAMPP site isn't showing up using your public IP address.
We require additional details. Which ports were forwarded? Is there any activity occurring? How are you locating your public IP address? Are you certain your ISP isn’t employing CG-NAT? Please verify if the router displays the WAN IP address. Most importantly, inspect the firewall on the XAMPP server—it’s an area that’s easy to overlook.
It seems there are several security measures preventing the connection. Your router includes an integrated firewall. You should enable port forwarding and direct traffic through ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) to the machine running XAMPP. Also, ensure those ports are accessible for both incoming and outgoing connections in your operating system's firewall settings. Keep in mind, unless you're familiar with network security, opening these ports can expose your home network to significant risks if not handled carefully.
