View submission: Help Accessing Gemini Externally
The three big things that come to mind are:
1. Make sure there are no firewalls blocking the connection. It's possible a firewall is allowing local traffic over 1965 but blocking external connections.
2. Make sure your public IP is still what you think it is. Many homes are on dynamic IPs and so their addresses change occasionally.
3. Make sure your ISP isn't NAT'ing your address.

I have UFW installed and pretty sure I have the port allowed. I double checked the IP and it looks to be the same.
So I think the likely culprit might be NATing, as my ISP is xFinity. But I am unsure how to go about getting around this? I had thought port forwarding would help, but clearly not. I could try setting up an HTTP server and see if that's reachable...

I think I'm good actually! I had someone external test and my Apache server was working. I think I was getting a loopback issue, preventing me from getting to the site internally.
