Hosting a Cpanel server at home

Hello, I installed WHM on an old PC and am trying to make it visible to the Internet. On my router I enabled DMZ for this device and everything is working fine on the local network. I can access WHM on port 2087, Cpanel on port 2083 and my website. But when I try to access from another network I can only access WHM (2087) and Cpanel (2083). Using HTTP I get a message saying it might be misconfigured and using HTTPS I get a connection error I think. I think I should configure something in WHM. Does anyone know what I should do to make it work? Thanks, Giuseppe

  Hello! To confirm, it's only the website itself that doesn't work, whereas cPanel and WHM load? Do you get any DNS errors if you run it through a checker like this?

  Hello, Exactly. From local network I can access everything: WEBSITE mywebsite.com (http and https) WHM mywebsite.com:2087 CPANEL mywebsite.com:2083 SSH mywebsite.com:22 From internet I can access only: WHM mywebsite.com:2087 CPANEL mywebsite.com:2083 I'm using a XIAOMI AX1800 router. Server's local IP address is on router's DMZ, so all ports should be open. CentOS 7. Latest WHM/CPANEL. DNS is pointing to the right public IP address. I've gotten the following warnings from intoDNS:

  Domain NS records

  My problem is very similar to the problem on this thread:
