Hello,

I have a Linux device configured with a remote access software. I connected it to my home rooter and it gets a 192.168.10.3 ip. I can access it locally from the other pc of the home network by typing the ip to a browser. thats easy

What if I need to access it outside the home network from the internet?

I dont even have a static ip to my router. Is there any way?

Hi and welcome to PCHF!

I would recommend you use this: No-IP - Dynamic DNS, Static DNS for Your Dynamic IP

You can install it, and since you don't have a static IP, all you have to do is go to YOURCHOICE.no-ip.info as the IP and it will always be updated.

The reason that you cannot access it, is because you probably don't have the ports forwarded in your router. You will need to give the server a static IP internally. I'm not really sure how to explain this because I don't really mess around with Linux too much anymore.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Adam

Hello Lakiscy, welcome to PCHF.

Having a dynamic IP address won't stop you from accessing your PC remotely. The only difficulty is making sure that you know the current IP address of your PC in order to connect. You can obtain the current IP address of your PC by going to What Is My IP Address? - IP Address Lookup, Bandwidth Speed Test, IP Info, plus more

All you need to do then is configure port forwarding, which will completely depend on the router your using and the type of remote access software your running (different remote access software use different ports). This site will help you configure port forwarding on your router: PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall

EDIT: Nice link for no-ip Axe

I agree with both Axe and madmonkey,

Another free option is Hamachi. It enables you to have a LAN over the internet and does not require any port forwarding, etc to be done on your router to connect to your home pc. It's also good for gaming - where you don't want to setup a full server - you can just setup a LAN server and your friends can still join no matter where they live in the world. Plus it's secure so you don't have to worry about someone being able to access your files, etc.

Please see link below for info.

thank you for replies.

Let me see if i understand clearly. I go to the no-ip.biz and i create a domain for my dynamic ip. The linux device has an http server running in 80 port. The domain will point to the router not to the linux device, how i will configure it to point to the linux device? Shall i assign new ports to the router and to the application in linux device?
Im confused
