You must order the additional service "Fixed IP". Without this internet provider blocks the incoming requests. For example ISP site.
Then, you can enable remote access to the web interface of the router. And try to connect to the router via a global address and not through local (192.168.0.50).
When it will be possible then you can configure port forwarding and everything else.

@RostikCZE port forward work but only one direction from your server to a remote client. When client try to connect to your server or you check open port by Portforward.com incoming request is reduce by the firewall of ISP.– AltAirCommented Mar 27, 2017 at 22:27
netstat -an | findstr "LISTEN"
and it has to list the ports you are interested in to connect from outside your local network.
