Hej Folks,   

I have a Raspberry Pi 4 and want to run a little http server that I can access remotely. I have a little index.html file, that prints "Hello World" and start the simple server via "python3 -m http.server 8080". In my local network, I can access the http page via Browser at [192.168.0.130:8080](https://192.168.0.130:8080) successfully. Now I want to reach that http page from outside my local network. I have a Archer C6. I first add my Pi as a "Reserved Address", with his MAC and his IP ([192.168.0.130](https://192.168.0.130)). Secondly I configure a "Virtual Server" for the port forwarding, I add the IP [192.168.0.130](https://192.168.0.130) with Internal Port 8080 and external Port 8888. No Service Type given and ALL as Protocol.

 

As I understood, I could now access my "Hello World" page from outside with the WAN address? Example: [http://123.123.123.123:8888](http://123.123.123.123:8888)  

 

 

Sadly .. I time out on the http page and a port scan on my WAN address is resulting in "no ports open". I access the server from outside with a different network with a different WAN address ..  

 

 

Any suggestions?

 

(Sry 4 bad english.)

Hello, may i know if the Archer C6 is connected to your ISP modem directly? and is the WAN IP on the Archer C6 a public IP address?

You could google your IP address on one of its client device to see if it is the same as the WAN IP displayed on the router page, if so, it means the WAN IP is the real public IP.

 

By the way, is the WAN IP on the Archer C6 a static IP or not?

Hej. I forgot to answer my own question.

My WAN and my public IP are different, so most likely my ISP is using carrier-grade NAT.

So no port forwarding for me I guess ..

Or I talk to my ISP.

 

But thx for your answer!
