Connecting from outside the local network #67

Open RobvandenBerg opened 4 years ago

RobvandenBerg commented 4 years ago

Hello, I was wondering if it's possible to use this plugin to listen to connections over the internet?

I have used this plugin successfully to establish connections within the same network, but when I try to connect to the host's IP address from outside the local network, no connection can be established. Should I look into the settings of my router or some other place, or is there some restriction or setting in the plugin that I'm unaware of?

It is not possible. But maybe a VPN or other similar technique could help you?
