Hello, I wanted to know if this was normal or not. I have a nginx server on port 64297 and can’t access it from my computer navigator. I can access apps on port 80 or 443 wihtout any problem. I did all the networking rules, and I’m sure it works since I can access it from another droplet in the same private network. Does anyone already experienced this or have an idea on how to solve it ? (I can’t change port 64297, all the standard port are already taken). I can provide further informations if needed.

Ensure that you have allowed the port on your firewall for external use.
Additionally, make sure Nginx is actually listening on that port and you can see it working. You can use:
