We will access our server with the local address and ask a remote friend to test the external address. Most routers do not support network address translation (NAT) loopback (hairpinning). You can contact them to change said settings or you would need to change providers. Some Internet service providers (ISP) might block ports (Inter-connectivity doorways) or applications, an unlikely case. You can always post questions in the comments section.
We will go through the details required and hopefully anyone can follow them.Ī few things might not make sense to you depending on your expertise, follow along and you should be okay. This guide will require you to have administration rights to your router for configuration. I hope you enjoy this guide, rate and refer it to people that would find it useful.
