I have a surveilance software on my Lan with port no 8080, but I am unable to view it over the internet when i type http://my ipadd/8080.
How do I make my private IP address to be seen on the public internet?

Question asked by visitor okey nwaokenneya

Hi,

Try http://myipadd:8080

First of all, if u have a private ipaddress and u want to see that on the public internet, then, ur gateway must be a public ipaddress and ip forwarding should come into pciture.
That is, say ur private ip: 192.168.1.10 and ur gateway: 44.122.1.6 which is a public ipaddress. And, the firewall rule: "Allow from internet - the 8080 traffic should be forwarded or redirected to ur lan ip(192.168.1.10)" should be added.

Type from the internet as: http:44.122.1.6:8080
The traffic from wan to lan will be redirected to ur private ip: 192.168.1.10 on port 8080 to access ur software.

May answer ur question.

Hi,
If you have static public IP from ISP and u install that software on that gateway system, u can use http://YourPublicIP:8080 to access it from internet. If you install it on a system with private IP, u need to configure IP forwarding/ mapping in Proxy or NAT. If you have dynamic IP from ISP ie. dialup, cable etc., it would be difficult as the the public IP changes frequently so that u have to check the IP each time u want to connect.
