that means you have likely have a doublenat. though your screenshot looks like a standard public IP. probably will need you to explain how your network equipment is set up and/or what sort of ISP you have (like if your ISP has you on a CGNAT)

I’m a bit of a noob at this, how can I know what kind of ISP I have?

My network equipment is a PC where I have stored locally the content connected by cable to the router of the internet company, and it has worked well until now without touching anything.  
The Router is a ZTE ZXHN F6640

What is your ISP company. Maybe someone here has the same.

Did you do the manual port forward set up in your router?

When it comes to your internet connection and remote access, it’s not just about what your configuration looks like but also about a number of other „players“… namely your internet provider. They can change a lot of things on their side that can impact your remote access — up to the point where they break it for you.

You can check out this thread to pin down what’s causing your issue. Though your description implies this might be due to a change on your internet provider side.
