There’s an implicit deny for all ACL so if you want to allow traffic that’s initiated by user within the inside network to be returned, you have to place this statement at the end of your extended ACL, standard ACL has no keyword – Established.

Extended ACL at the end of the entry:
permit ip any any established

Apply the ACL to the outside interface of your router as INBOUND.

Private range, RFC1918:
