How are you trying to connect?
Reverse-proxy, VPN, home ip
If using reverse-proxy try setting up caddy or nginx proxy manager

In case you need a (free) domain get one on desec.io or duckdns.
Alternately you can use tailscale and connect using your tailscale address (ex: myhome.tail8382.ts.net:8096)
No port forward needed

Do you have a public IP or a dynamic? Call your internet provider to know if you currently can connect from outside the network.

Using public IP have a luxul router when I opened up the port 8096 when checking to see if the port Status is it’s saying closed also did everything on computer to stop firewall from stopping that port still no luck is a proxy the way to go ?
