Hi there,

In order to connect to your website externally, you need to use the public IP address, in your case: 213.136.68.197.

So during the WordPress installation you should specify the public IP address rather than the 192.168.43.132 IP which is a private IP.

For more information on private IP addresses and VPCs, I could suggest the following documentation:

Let me know if you have any questions!

Best,

Bobby
