I’ve started a nginx webserver recently with Ubuntu Server 22.04 as usual. The hypervisor is VMware Workstation 16.2.4. When I open the site http://192.168.0.213 I can see the default nginx page. But if I try to use my domain name example.com page won’t be found… I make attempts on my host and on other virtual machines using curl. The result is the same. And I’m not able to open my site even from webserver! The command nginx -t output is successful.

Should I shut down the firewall? Or should I add a special entry in DNS zones files? Might I add some other records to the example.com file?
