Why not set up a secure shell tunnel from the device you're using when 

outside the LAN into the RasPi and tunnel to 192.168.1.194 on whatever 

port you need.

Then connect to 127.0.0.1:{tunnel_port} on the device.

I do this with PuTTY all the time so I can use a single port forward and 

have public key authentication to get to things on the LAN in a more 

secure way.

     That error isn't helpful - show the full and unredacted error.
     Also, a ping isn't a useful test.

         I have a wood pellet boiler that is connected via ethernet
         cable to my home router. I can access the boiler to perform
         various functions whilst on the local LAN but not externally.
         There is no way to password protect this page so I didn't want
         to forward the ports and make it available for everyone. The
         internal IP address of this is 192.168.1.194

         To get around this I bought a raspberry pi and installed
         Apache on it. The IP address of this is 192.168.1.168. I
         created a simple password protected webpage with the link to
         the boiler IP address and port forwarded this.Â

         I can access the Apache web server when internally on the LAN
         and use the boiler control page, however I can't get the
         boiler control page to display when accessing the webssever
         from an external IP. I can access the webssever externally but
         when I click on the boiler link it tells me that it cannot be
         found.

         I can also successfully ping the boiler IP address from the
         raspberry pi.

         Is there something I am missing ?

Have you checked if the site is enabled? I don't know what Raspberry
Pi's OS is but if it is using some form of Debian or CentOS distros then
try something like this:

# apache2ctl -S
# apachectl -S
OR
# httpd -S
