Your node needs to be reachable from the internet at large, or others won’t be able to get your content. If you are sitting behind a NAT router, you need to either set up port forwarding (on the router) OR enable relay client (on your node). Once that is done and your node becomes reachable, you’ll be able to access your content from public gateways.
