Getting localhost online

So I'm trying to get my site up and running to where I can access it from different computers.

I have the virtual hosts set up, and I found my IP address, I even clicked the option to put online.

However, when I check on my phone to access the site I get

This site can't be reached.
mm250's server DNS address could not be found.
ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED.

Here is my vhosts. I'm assuming the reason why it isn't working is because I did something wrong here

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mm250
DocumentRoot c:/wamp64/www/project1
<Directory "c:/wamp64/www/project1/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
require ip 73.25.230.23
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>


Also when it does work is their away I can password protect the site. Because of the type of site and I'm recreating an old site,
I cannot have people accidently sumble upon it and think it is the site I'm recreating

Thanks for the help

Hi,

Start by doing a google search on "What is port forwarding.

Then this site is very good at providing instructions and may even have instruction for your specific router [portforward.com]
