ESP8266 Community Forum

Hi, I just want to share. I have tried this one and it works pretty well. You dont need any port forwarding anymore.
I have controlled my lightings and appliance for almost 3 months already now.

If you have a web interface working on your ESP8266 locally, you are just a couple of steps away from getting it working on the larger Internet. Just set up port forwarding on your router. Depending on your ISP, you might have to use an obscure port (ie. something other than 80) as they might not allow web servers running at home. However, if you care about security, you are going to want to do more.

For read-only access, with no parameter processing, to something I really don't care about, I wouldn't have issues port forwarding from the Internet to an ESP8266 on my local network. However, for anything with parameters, anything at all, I would want a login page and all communications to/from the outside world to go through an SSL proxy (ie. nginx). If this were to be something that could become popular, I'd want a genuine SSL certificate, but if it were just for my own access, a self-signed certificate would do.

Hi,
you can setup a VPN server on your router. So when you need to access the esp, you enter the VPN from where you are and done!

When your device connectes to VPN it sends data to any server trough e.g your router.
It's the same as if your device would be logged into your WLAN.
