Mapping nginx server to the DNS through a VPS IP address

Team:

I have a situation where I am trying to map a subdomain to a locahost web application running on nginx server through an ip address owned through another vps provider. So far, I have set the nginx reverse proxy on the device where the web app server is, and mapped the domain through the vps ip address on the domain registrar side. I am seeing the subdomain working on the device where the server is. However, it is not accessible on the internet. Any suggestions on how to make this work would be greatly appreciated.

Config that I have:
Device with ip address 192.168.0.x running the localhost web app --- includes nginx server - reverse proxy to localhost with a server name that is -mapped to the subdomain

Your setup environment is rather vague, so I will give this a sort of noob shot. Just a guess here, but you may have to port forward on the vps that is serving the subdomain or possibly unblock some ports in your firewall, or both.
