EDIT: never mind, I just tried and it works.
I am writing some software that listens to a UDP feed from another server we have running on Amazon cloud (AWS). When i was working on the office I just assigned my computers IP address to this UDP server and I would get the udp feed. I believe the sys admin setup some kind of VPN and my work's computers IP was within this VPN and thus part of the AWS virtual network.
I now work remotely so need to reconfigure the UDP server. I configured my new public IP address but obviously this is the IP address of the router,not my private IP which is assigned by my wireless network 192.1.0.X etc.
Obviously giving the UDP server my private address is useless, so I assume I have to do some kind of port forwarding in the router? Is this a case of just logging in to the router and finding some appropriate menu options, specifying port number and my private IP?
My private IP is also likely to change to DHCP, but I believe I need DHCP enabled for the VPN client I use to connect to work.
yeah, I don't really know much about networking despite developing a webserver
