TCP communication with offsite desktop app

General
1

Hi,

I’m using a server desktop app to communicate via TCP, to several client apps running on the same network. Everything works just fine on the local network, but I’m adding a shipping feature that would require communicating to an app on a tablet at a different location. I have not been able to connect from a different location. Does this require a website?

I have the scope set to Public, Address: 192.168.0.20, Port 11235

Is the address different when being accessed over the internet?

Sorry I’m new to web communication programing.

You will need to use the public address of your network and route that port to your internal server.

Yes. See Private network for the explanation.

Great. I set up a NAT map for the port, and can now access it using the WAN IP address.

Thanks,
