Nginx not responding from outside the remote box

My website (Django/nginx/gunicorn/mysql) which is hosted on a remote box was working fine, until I decided to restart remote box for some reason. So after the restart, in the remote box when I say curl -IL -H -GET my.web.address it works fine. However, when I try the same command from outside, it reports curl: (35) OpenSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to my.web.address.

Any help is appreciated. Please find below the relevant things which I checked for.

I’m using a CentOS 7 remote server system, and I predominantly followed this tutorial.

nginx is listening on the right ports

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:443             0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      3425/nginx: master  
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:80              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      3425/nginx: master

I’ve checked my sock file permissions, they are spinning up correctly by the respective user. The file permissions are set correctly.
