Why port 80 (HTTP) reported as open by nmap when it is closed?

I recently setup a small server which is running Debian 9. The purpose of this machine is to run OpenVPN server on port 443 to bypass censorship. It runs the following services and nothing else:
  1. Squid on private IP belongs to VPN pool (10.8.0.1:3128)
  2. SSH on private IP belongs to VPN pool (10.8.0.1:22)
  3. DNS resolver on private IP belongs to VPN pool (10.8.0.1:53)
  4. OpneVPN on public IP port 443 (server_public_ip_address:443)
