I recently registered the domain politicsapp.us with GoDaddy and I am trying to set up a server on my local machine with WampServer. I set it all up, but when i type that into a browser, it gives me ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

I first tried to ping the URL and got the following response

C:UsersAdmin>ping politicsapp.us

So ping works. And the domain is pointing to the right place. I checked my router and port 80 is in fact forwarding to this machine. But PortChecker is telling me that my port is closed. I have added a rule to allow all incoming port 80 connections in Windows Firewall.

What's the problem?
