How can I access RemotelyAnywhere on a machine behind a firewall?
In order to access a computer that is behind a router you need to map one of the router’s ports to the IP address and port of the machine on which you are running RemotelyAnywhere. From outside your LAN, you would gain access to the computer running RemotelyAnywhere by entering the router’s IP address and the port to which the desired machine is mapped. Example: ROUTER: External IP address: 111.111.111.111 RemotelyAnywhere machine: IP address: 192.168.0.10, Port: 2000 (port 2000 is the default but this can also be changed) STEP 1) Map a port from the router to the computer. In this case, you could pick a port on the router (say, 5200) and map it to 192.168.0.10:2000. Mapping ports from routers to computers is router-specific. Usually your router will have a web-based interface that allows you to configure and maintain it. Sometimes router companies refer to this action as ‘Port Forwarding’, Port Mapping’, ‘Opening a Pinhole’, and ‘Port Range Forwarding.’ STEP 2) Having done the above,
