I have just finished setting up Node-red on the a cloud machine hosted with vultr ( Ubuntu 20.04 x64 ) and I am wanting to be able to hit the Node-Red web page but I am failing to do so.

I have setup WireGuard so I can VPN into the machine

I am able to ping the servers Local IP address from my Windows PC

But I am still unable to hit the Node-Red Web Page

Even though Node-Red is running

I am fairly new to working with cloud machines so any help would be highly appreciated.

I'm going to guess that you haven't opened port 1880 for the server.

This could be in one of 2 places

1. Vultr appear to have their own firewall which you will need to ensure a suitable rule to allow TCP traffice on port 1880 exists. How to configure the firewall appears to be documented here https://www.vultr.com/docs/vultr-firewall-quickstart-guide/
2. You will need to make sure that the port is open in the Ubuntu Firewall as well. Running sudo ufw allow 1880/tcp should do this.
