Remote access without port forwarding

Post by chiefer »

Hi guys

Is this possible if you're on a different network? Eg: from work or mobile phone?

Have basic technical knowledge but struggle big time with port forwarding, looking at SABconnect, it's only for use on the same network? Appears with the SAB URL I'll still be hamstrung with the same port forwarding issue?.....


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Port-forwarding is required. Check the documentation of your home router.
A possible alternative is using a VPN connection,
but that's even more complicated to set up.
