When running this command on bash curl --connect-timeout 5 http://$IPADDRESS (Yes, I changed it to my ip address of web server) it recieves the error in bash but is accessible and works fine in browser:

curl: (28) Failed to connect to 4.42.115.23 port 80 after 5000 ms: Timeout was reached

Is there something I am doing wrong?

    Observe the headers your browser sends when making a request, and then include those same headers in your "curl" request. Certain servers require specific headers that browsers send by default, which might not be included in your "curl" request.

    You can see the headers send by inspecting the network activity. You can follow this guide for Chrome: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/network/
