"Get the internal IP of your machine and forward any external port you want to the internal port (although it is best to use the same) and the correct ip address.

Then, from anywhere in the world, type YOUR_IP:80 or whatever port and you should be able to access it."

"In addition to port forwarding, you might also want to make sure you check your computer's firewall to see if it allows port 8080/8086 (whichever one you're actually using now).

Sounds trivial, but I've forgotten this relatively braindead-easy step several times when configuring my ports, and you seem to have gotten the port forwarding part down correctly."

"I ran into the same issue on qBitorrent v4.1.5 using my wan IP. My router did list a correct UPnP entry in the port forwarding screen and canyouseeme.org listed the address as visible, but somehow the actual forwarding didn't work.
For me the solution was to uncheck ""Use UPnP / NAT-PMP to forward the port from my router"" like the screenshot below, and add the port forwarding manually in the config of my router."

"What you are trying to do here is run RDP from outside your local subnet. This is relatively easy to do as long as you consider a few things. First you need to get the traffic to your doorstep. You seem to have done already with DynDNS so there is no need to re-invent the wheel here. Next you need to configure your router to forward the RDP port to your local machine running your UI. Here is a good article if you do not already know how to do this. RDP uses port 3389.

Make sure RDP is enabled on your machine and ensure that the windows firewall is not blocking that program.

At this point you should be able to go to your DynDNS hostname using ""mstsc.exe"" to access RDP on port 3389!"
