  I have a page that is ‘visible’ to public status and I have cut n paste the URL into my domain name but it resolves at a wordpress screen that says ‘wordpress refused to connect’. Why when my page is set for public view, ie no need log in to view.

  That’s the URL when you edit a page. The correct URL to share is https://roomboyhasher.wordpress.com/nameofthatpage
  Also your site is set to private, so people must log in to see it.

  Just to add to what @staartmees wrote, you can also get a shortlink to any page or post on your site. Here is how you can do that:
