If we want access to our Raspberry Pi from outside our network, we need to do the following:

  • Check if our modem has a public IP address

  • Investigate the address that we'll be using in our browser

  • Type http://whatismyipaddress.com/ in our browser

IP provided by the ISP are genteraly dynamic IP which changes after some time. In our cases we need to have static addresses which does not change occasionally.
