6. Setup Port forwarding in home router

Connect to home router setting web page

Usually home router provides configuration web page to configure the router.

In my case, 172.30.1.254 was the web page address. It says that usually default gateway is used for the web page.

Find a default gateway at destination column in a route table.

netstat -nr

Default gateway

This is a way out ip to the public internet from the local network.

In browser,

http://172.30.1.254

I needed to login, and default id and password was found in the internet.

Setup Port forwarding

Port forwarding will send traffic from public internet to specific private ip and port.

The private ip will be home server's ip. (ex: 172.30.1.91)

There is a menu named NAT or Port forwarding.

Forward the port 22, 80, 443 to the private ip's 22, 80, 443.

Test using public IP

Find my public ip using a website searched in google "find my ip".

Then check the ip.

curl 12.34.56.78

It would give Moved Permanently html doc.
