what you have is a webserver on your ?PC? what can be called with its local IP from within the network
correct?
if you want to call that webserver from the “outside” internet
- -a- you need to know the IP of your home router( browser check my ip )
- -b- when you then contact your router from outside it must know that you want to talk to the local PC with the local IP you see from the processing.
- -c- testing can be difficult , so its good to be “outside” like with some free internet tools ( VPN and proxy service ) so you can call back your home, because also your router might not allow to talk from inside via outside to inside …
