I'm pretty new to selfhosting and homelabs, and I would appreciate a simple-worded explanation here. Details are always welcome!
So, I have a home network with a dynamic external IP address. I already have my Synology NAS exposed to the Internet with DDNS - this was done using the interface, so didn't require much technical knowledge.
Now, I would like to add another server (currently testing with Raspberry Pi) in the same LAN that would also be externally reachable, either through a subdomain (preferable), or through specific ports. How do I go about it?
P.S. Apparently, what I've tried on the router does work, it's just that my NAS was sitting in the DMZ. Now it works!
This only guarantees your WANip:8100 will map to 192.168.0.113:81, and doesn't address whether or not dns resolution is correct. I would also be weary of using port numbers on wikipedia's known ports list, as some ISPs will filter those upstream. The last thing is that your router may not want to hairpin that traffic, so if you're not coming in from the outside it might not be a valid test.
Thanks for the pieces of advice! Yes, I tried to connect from external (mobile) network as well.
