Double check that port 80 and 443 are setup correctly in your router. If they are, it is possible that your ISP is blocking those ports.
Assuming your ISP is NOT blocking port 80 and 443, ideally you would remove port 8096 from your router's port forwarding. This forces all external connections to go through caddy. Going directly to port 8096 bypasses caddy.
You COULD use a different port entirely and route that to caddy. Most routers allow you to define an external port and redirect it to a different internal port.
