You must also forward the TCP port 3389 on the router to allow remote connections over the internet to the computer in the local network. Alternatively, you can also contact your ISP to request a static IP address, but it might cost you extra since this is typically a feature reserved for businesses. If you need a more reliable solution, you may want to look into "Dynamic Domain Name System" (DDNS) services (such as DynDNS, OpenDNS, No-IP, or for Asus routers), which can track the public IP changes. Typically, internet providers also offer dynamic public IP addresses for residential customers, which means that your public IP address may change from time to time. Confirm the public IP address in the first result.To determine the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP), use these steps:
You will also need the remote network's public IP address to contact the device over the internet. If you want to use this option, consult your manufacturer support website for specific steps to complete this task. Some routers include a feature to make the current TCP/IP configuration static. Quick tip: If you can't connect to the internet, try using one of the Google Public DNS addresses (such as 8.8.8.8) for the "Alternate DNS server" option.Īfter you complete the steps, the network configuration will apply, and the IP settings will never change. Under the "Use the following DNS server addresses" section, in the "Preferred DNS server" field, specify the IP address of your DNS server, which in most cases is also the address of the router - for example, 10.1.4.1.Specify the default gateway address, which should be the router's address - for example, 10.1.4.1.Specify a subnet mask for the network (for example, 255.255.255.0), but the system usually fills this information from you based on the "IP address.".To configure a permanent network configuration, use these steps: If you plan to use a remote desktop for a long time, you may want to configure a static IP address to avoid reconfiguring port forwarding on the router when the device changes the network configuration.

In addition, you will need to know the public address to contact the remote computer.Ĭonfigure static IP address on Windows 10Ī computer usually receives a dynamic IP address from the DHCP server (router), which means it can change. If the remote connection has to happen over an internet connection, you will also have to configure the router to allow the remote connection. If you have to connect to another device within the local network, skip to the steps below, and continue with the start a remote desktop connection instructions. If you need to configure a remote desktop using an internet connection, continue with the steps below. Check the Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication option.I can provide more information if needed! Just not sure what is needed.Source: Windows Central (Image credit: Source: Windows Central) Internet -> AT&T modem/router -> pfsense firewall (old PC) -> Asus router -> many devices
After this pfsense firewall is my Asus router which all of my family's devices are connected to.
#REMOTER BEHIND FIREWALL PC#
Behind that is an old PC I installed pfsense on which routes all of my outgoing internet traffic to a VPN provider. My internet provider is AT&T so my internet connection starts with the modem/router combo that they provided me. I have a good internet connection, IP seems to be hidden, and dnsleaktest doesn't show any leaks. Currently everything seems to work how I want, just no remote access. Security and privacy are important to me so I want to make sure I'm not opening myself up to something also. I THINK that I need to use a dynamic DNS client on my router to make this work, but since the router gets its IP from my firewall device (private IP?), I think I will be missing something (maybe set up port forwarding?). I don't know all the lingo but I'm trying to learn. I'd like to be able to connect to my router at home as if I were there and see all of my devices, remote desktop connect to my home PC, etc. I don't know the terminology so I don't think I recognize the answer if it's out there.
