Open IIS Website using Public IP - Port Forwarding

DinVision
Neighbour

Please help. The IIS Website works when I open using local IP and names:
http://192.168.1.64:80
http://127.0.0.1:80
http://localhost:80

-----------------------------

The Telus Router Model is "TELUS Wi-Fi Hub".

Internet Plan is TELUS Gigabit Internet (Residential)

-----------------------------

I added Port forwarding in the Router
Public Port 80 to Private Port 80 in local IP 192.168.1.64

-----------------------------

The following website shows port 80 is accessible from outside IP
https://canyouseeme.org/
Success: I can see your service on 108.180.xxx.xxxon port (80)
Your ISP is not blocking port 80

-----------------------------

For testing purpose, I temporarily turned off Firewall in the Router and also in the Windows.

-----------------------------
When I open the website using public IP http://108.180.xxx.xxx:80

I get following error:

This site can’t be reached108.180.xxx.xxxx took too long to respond.
Try:

Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
Running Windows Network Diagnostics
ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

You won't be able to access anything you host when connecting using a device on your home network. Take one of your other devices with a VPN or try with your cell on LTE/5G instead of wifi and see if they can connect.
