This looks like something that nginx can not do anything about.

That suggests that the local machine has network connectivity to and
from that IP address.

That suggests that the outside machine does not has network connectivity
both to and from that IP address.

Note that you have one address in the curl request, and a different one
in the response. If that is real, something odd is going on.

If the traffic does not get to nginx, nginx can do nothing about the traffic.

You need to ensure that your network configuration -- routing,
firewalling, everything else -- is correct, before nginx gets involved.

Good luck with it,
