One friendly suggestion. Please draw network diagrams and corresponding animations to explain how the ports are forwarded or where the ports are open and where it needs to be forwarded.

Not all the tutorials go as smooth as this one, even though I had another internet supplier it still worked fine. Thank you for the help.

[@alaaalotaibi6201]

man this is really helpful, easy and straightforward

[@Figworm]

I know in the video, the file hi.txt was new, so :wq is perfectly fine. Tip: Get in the habit of using :x instead of :q or :wq with vi variants. When just reading/viewing a file, using :x will exit without modifying the file's timestamp (useful with backup solutions that use in part, file timestamps for backups). Where as :q will modify the file's timestamp, regardless if the file was edited or not. Also, :x acts the same as :wq for modified files.

[@williamhdixon]

I've always used ZZ with the vi editor. If you've changed anything, it saves and exits, just like :wq. But if you haven't changed anything, it just exits, leaving the original file untouched. For me, as long as it isn't one of those "oh no I made a mistake" moments, it's the same keystrokes whether I changed the time, or it looked okay once I got in and looked at it.

Thanks, great video really clearly explains the solution in only 8 minutes!!

You're welcome Anthony

Thanks you solved my problem with a simple explanation

Perfect, this it exactly what I was looking for. Answer to all my questions related to the remote ssh. Thank you kindly!

You are welcome!

Don't expose SSH and RDP like this to the internet without hardening!

Hi Tony Thanks for the video about port forwarding. As i have been struggling to get my raspberry pi to work over the internet with port forwarding. Thanks for your video. Peter

[@TonyTeachesTech]

You're welcome! Thanks for subscribing

[@iflashlantern4292]

This video answered my questions perfectly. I just have one quick question. While researching port forwarding I've seen a lot of people online talking about risks to brute force attacks from outside. I just want to be able to SSH into and communicate over TCP with my raspberry pi while I'm in school. My pi is running Ubuntu Server 20.04.5. If I enable the firewall on my pi, do you think everything would be safe? Edit: nevermind, I found out I could just set the Ubuntu firewall (ufw) to only accept tcp connections (and ssh) over port 22 coming from specific IPs. i have it set to only accept form my router and my laptop's local (home network) ip address. once i get to school i'll add my computer's local ip from their network. i *think* this will be safe.

[@johnb6767]

Thanks Tony

[@TonyTeachesTech]

You're welcome!

[@kychemclass5850]

Maybe they blocked port 80 to encourage you to use HTTPS on 443. Did you check if they allow 443?

[@oskarnygards8856]

Thanks a lot! :-)

[@TonyTeachesTech]

You're welcome

[@lukasthielen302]

great job. can you also set up two individual server/raspberry pi in your local network and access them both via port 22 or should each use a dedicated port?

[@TonyTeachesTech]

Yes you can do that

[@nicofish1000]

thank you. I had my ssh server locally, but now that we can leave our houses again I need to be able to access it from elsewhere.....

[@MPElectronique]

Hey, thanks for the video. Is it possible to access multiple local webserver??

[@Probler]

This is a long time after u posted ur video but I really hope u see and answer my question. I don't really know and have my ip momorised at all times so I would like to connect to my ssh hosing my domain name, is that possible? And is there extra setup required or no?

[@daurham]

Great video! Will running a server on this port allow me to connect to it? Or is SSH different in some fundamental way? I’ve only used it for remote connecting, so the concept isn’t landing for me

[@shriram5494]

you could run a server on port 22 and connect to it through the url ipv4address:22 on your web browser

[@leozhang1340]

Is that port number 22 you entered the internal or external port? I have both available for me to edit.

[@user-zo8ry4wr9y]

Can we connect VNC as well ?

[@nhs.14]

what happen if you dont have static ip for your router? most isp wont give static ip for cheap internet subscription

[@ryandickinson4738]

Do you need a static ip address to do any of this ?

[@illumi1749]

on my router it says to input a LAN and WAN port should i just do 22 for both

[@joseponce9567]

Nice video, I suposse if you have an active NGINX server running in the Raspberrypi, you will access directly to the web service developed?

[@TonyTeachesTech]

Not sure I understand your question, but I do have a video about accessing an Nginx site on Pi here kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3fIqphnr7GjfNE

[@DrsJacksonn]

Can you also use other ports than 22?

[@satejratnaparkhi]

How to make router ip static without purchasing?? I tried some services like no-ip but when the router reboot or sometimes later the public IP get's changed and if I'm outside I don't know the public IP of my router then how I can ssh cause no ip also not changing the previous ip to new. Plz help......

[@danieldenhartog2309]

Hi! Just a little heads up. I forwarded port 5900~5910:TCP on my modem (this port is for VNC) and was able to use my 'whatsmyIP' IP-adress as connection adress in VNC viewer. This was sufficient to be able to remotely control my RPi! For me, the SSH port did not work, so this might be a solution for anyone with the same problem! :) Cheers

[@TonyTeachesTech]

Nice workaround :)

[@timt2708]

Weirdly, that worked, but ssh didnt. THANKS M8!

[@airbus5717]

if i have a pdf on the raspberry pi how do i view it on the phone?

[@astroid9087]

If I want to ssh to 2 rpi How do I choose which one? 🤔 👍

[@billloveless6869]

Do you have to use the ports you listed? Thanks

[@TonyTeachesTech]

You can technically ssh with any port

[@Lp-ze1tg]

Would that be a problem if the user plans to setup IPFire on the same network?

[@TonyTeachesTech]

I don't know, sorry

[@taleivenvencatalapillay2039]

can you tell me how to give someone access to your pi using your router

[@taleivenvencatalapillay2039]

can you pls tell me how to give someone access to your pi with your public ip

[@chandandhiman8057]

This will only work with static ip not dynanic ip aadress

[@sciencekhuong]

Can you port forwarding proftpd?

[@TonyTeachesTech]

I don’t know sorry

[@ignaciohdi]

Is there any kind of risk for doing this on a RaspberryPi 4, i don't think Raspberry has a firewall, and if it has it, it might not be as safe as the one in windows 10

[@AR-15K1]

Use ufw

[@timgiaychuyenadidasreal4800]

how to enter wifi password for raspberry through phone using app or webserver??

[@TonyTeachesTech]

Sorry I don't know

[@thomasperri3294]

Is this safe to do? Is a VPN recommended?

[@TonyTeachesTech]

A VPN won't help in this case. There is risk anytime you open a port to your local network.

[@miloszfedorowicz5382]

Is this safe ? I mean every other tutorial to do this uses a VPN, I don't know why if it's that simple !

[@devtest8259]

You can make a new port number and assign it to http requests. Nothing they can do to stop it.

[@doomtomb3]

no mention of security. there's bot farms out there checking all IPs they can find for port 22. Then they gonna brute force your usernames like root, admin, etc. Linux does not recommend changing root username, so you are kind of stuck. You could at least use a random port for ssh instead of 22.

[@TonyTeachesTech]

Security by obfuscation is not a good technique

[@delmoteperrin6584]

But what I can do if the raspberry is connected with a 4G modem?

[@TonyTeachesTech]

Can you port forward on your modem?

[@delmoteperrin6584]

@@TonyTeachesTech I don't know how to do this. It's a USB modem 4 G

[@gene_Code]

if you ISP gave u a NAT'ed IP address to your router then it is impossible to do port forwarding.

[@tngdwn8350]

Yeah, I faced this problem, at least I think so. Do you know if it's possible to circumvent it by using IPv6? Somehow I failed using IPv6.

[@hasanmuhammod]

Hey, will it work if I don't have a real ip? Cause I have a shared ip

[@TonyTeachesTech]

As long as you have ssh access (with a username and password) to the server

[@meeskees4227]

What to do if you have multiple raspberry pi’s?

[@fun_blade9965]

u just change the hostname of the each raspberry pi differely

[@jonny777bike]

How long that address though

[@TonyTeachesTech]

What?

[@jonny777bike]

@@TonyTeachesTech I guess I didn't fully ask the question. How long does that address last. I really need to learn how to do Dynamic DNS. I still can't understand why we would need dynamic addresses with IPv6.

[@TonyTeachesTech]

@@jonny777bike That will depend on the lease time defined by your internet service provider

[@miningcraft1122]

you should blur the IP address to avoid any DDoS

Nah, the IP is changing. When he uploaded the video it wasn't "his" IP anymore.
