Can't access apache by port 80 from external [closed]

Question

I followed a lot of solutions I found, but it still doesn't work. I can access the server by port 80 inside my network, bui I can't on another one, just by another port (like 62, as I set).

Files:

httpd.conf

Listen localhost:80
Listen *my_ip*:80
Listen *my_ip*:62

...

ServerName *a_free_DNS*:80

...

<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">

    #
    # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",

    #
    # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
    # doesn't give it to you.
    #

    #

    #
    # Controls who can get stuff from this server.
    #
    Require all granted

</Directory>

httpd-vhosts.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName *a_free_DNS*
    DocumentRoot C:/xampp/htdocs/home/
</VirtualHost>

httpd-xampp.conf

#
<LocationMatch "^/(?i:(?:xampp|security|licenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))">
    #    Require local
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from localhost
    Allow from 192.168.0.*
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</LocationMatch>

I put here just what I thought is important and what was modified.

I'm using an Arris router. I set as following:

Virtual Servers:

Description     Inbound Port    Type    Private IP Address      Local Port
Server          20-81           TCP     192.168.0.123           20-81

Port Triggers

I tried

Description     Outbound Port   Type    Inbound Port
Server          80-80           TCP     62-62

and

Description     Outbound Port   Type    Inbound Port
Server          62-62           TCP     80-80

and

Description     Outbound Port   Type    Inbound Port
Server          20-81           TCP     20-81

and any.

I tried disable the router's firewall too. What do I do?

Try using port forwarding, instead of port triggering. Your web server is not making an initial connection which is what you need for port triggering. Also start by setting everything to one port instead of a range.
