Remote Connections (WAN)
Before attempting to connect to the system from a remote location, please read the
section on Port Forwarding, this will need to be done to allow access from outside of
the LAN.
Fixed IP address (Uncommon)
If you have a fixed IP address internet connection, complete all of the details above,
BUT replace the
Host Address
with the Fixed IP address provided by the Internet
Service Provider.
Dynamic IP Address (most common)
It is most likely that you have a Dynamic IP address assigned by the service provider.
This basically allows the Local system to connect to the outside world (Internet WAN),
and can change frequently. Because of the nature of Dynamic addresses you will
need a third party service to manage the IP address to ensure you can always
connect to the system.
You should search for a
Dynamic DNS
service provider, who may or may not charge
a fee for the service. Once you have the service the
Host Address
will be replaced by
the details given to you by the DDNS provider.
