I am not entirely sure what the question is, so I am going to make a bit of a guess and say what I think you might have got and want from it.
I think you've got something like I've got here at home. I have a machine running Confluence hooked up to a local network. One device in my local network is a broadband modem, which connects my network into the internet using NAT.
My confluence is on a machine 10.10.10.42, but my internet address (the one the modem has) is a dynamic ip given by my ISP. To use my Confluence on an internet domain name (which I do own), I have done these things:
- Got my own domain name
- Set up a service that ties my domain name to the IP address my ISP gives to me, so https://mydomain.org lands on my modem
- (Additonal step - my ISP does not give me a static address, so I've subscribed to a service that updates the routing when they change it, there are several that do it, but I use "no ip")
- Told my modem that when traffic lands on https://mydomain.org, route it internally to a proxy server (this is "port forwarding")
- Told the proxy to route it to 10.10.10.42 when it's a Confluence request
I use a proxy because I'm running more than confluence and a proxy allows me to run them all in one place - it's actually http://mydomain.org/docs, http://mydomain.org/jira, http://mydomain.org/stash and so on. If I only wanted to run Confluence and nothing else, I could skip the proxy and just use port forwarding to take all traffic on port 443 (https) to 10.10.10.42
