IP for domain is assigned as 165.227.81.80
Created hello.js file as follows:
var http = require(‘http’); http.createServer(function (req, res) { res.writeHead(200, {‘Content-Type’: ‘text/plain’}); res.end(‘Hello World\n’); }).listen(8080, ‘localhost’); console.log(‘Server running at http://localhost:8080/’);
and started with command “node hello.js”
server starts at 8080
Entering URL: http://165.227.81.80:8000 gets error:
Site cannot be reached 165.227.81.80 refused to connect.
How should I fix this? Help please!

Have you tried http://165.227.81.80:8080 while the server is running? You appear to have mistyped it above.
Make sure that your node application is binding to 8080 and that you either don’t have a firewall running that is restricting the port or that you have made the appropriate exemption in the firewall for your external IP.
