Look at the chapter 'Configuring Parallels Plesk Panel to Run Behind a Router with Firewall and Network Address Translation' in Plesk Administrator's Guide. I hope it will help.

Thanks IgorG

Thanks I read the tutorial, but Iam still a bit confused. I configured the DNS template as mentioned in the tutorial but for the ip I still have a question:

if for example my static ip is 175.195.8.258 and my router ip is 192.168.1.1 , which of these two I have to type in the A records for my websites to be available for internet users? Plesk is using 192.168.1.102 (assigned by the router)
do I also have to use the same ip for the NS records?

I have a linksys router with built in firewall and ports are configured as the tutorial.

Thanks in advance

Yes, Plesk configures domain hosting based on the IP address assigned to the server (Plesk CP > Home > IP addresses).
In your case it is internal IP address 192.168.1.102 that is not accessible from the outside.

So, you need to cpnfigure DNS template with external IP address 175.195.8.258:
replace <ip> placeholder in DNS template in Plesk CP > Home > DNS settings
with 175.195.8.

then try to create new domain and check DNS settings for the domain - it should use 175.195.8.258
