​

Also i ping to may domain and ping dont respond nothing.

Do you have port 80 and 443 forwarded from your router? Do you have nginx or similar set up to handle those requests? Those are the next steps.

Forward 80 and 443 to your device's local IP and use nginx to specify what domain requests to to what service.

Example:
Overseerr hosted on 192.168.1.44:5055. Nginx server receives a request from overseerr.examplesite.com. Nginx forwards that request to 192.168.1.44:5055.

If you ping it, is the domain resolved correctly? So the ping tries to ping 186.23.X.X?

Can you ping it with using the public ip without domain?

Maybe your router blocks ICMP requests outside your network. Or your ISP blocks the traffic. Do you have a full Dual Stack (IPv4 and IPv6), Dual Stack Lite (IPv6 with NAT from ISP) or just a single public IPv6?
