Okay so you own a domain. You have not setup DNS. You'll likely need
to set up your site with something like cloudflare for DNS. Then, you
can create a DNS record to point to your public IP. Then, you can look
into getting stuff exposed.

Or use a cloudflare tunnel.

Yeah what he said.  It sounds like you bought a domain but don't
realize fully what dns is.  Right now it points to nothing, you have
to setup an "A" record with the web servers ipv4 address (AAAA for
ivp6), and then allow a subdomain for guacamole by adding a CNAME.
Then on the web server configure the proxy-conf to forward the service
to that subdomain.
