Yes! Pixory is intended for just such a scenario. The dynamic dns services listed above will work properly through a home gateway/router performing NAT. You also need to be able to tell your home gateway/router that any requests to Pixory should be routed to the machine that Pixory is running on. This is called “port mapping” and is supported by almost all modern gateway/routers. Find the port mapping configuration for your gateway and configure so that requests for port 8081 go to the machine runing Pixory.
