To test if your site is working OK externally you have to test it from outside your network, I usually just pop down the road to my library to use their internet (you could also use a smart phone as long as it's not using your wi-fi).
The OP mentioned using "hidemyass.com" which is a free proxy which should simulate an outside request.
As mentioned you need to make sure your port is not blocked by isp (go to canyouseeme.org from any machine inside your lan) and is properly forwarded via your router.
Nothing is ever easy, but if it is difficult you must be doing it wrong.
