- In this Budget Nerd video, we will talk about accessing your computer from the internet, or anywhere. There are several ways to go about this. We cover two of them, but we spend the most time on Port Forwarding. If you haven't seen my "Home Network 101" video yet, I suggest you start with it if you need to brush up.

Already knew how to do this but you make things so damn easy to understand, had no choice but to watch. Keep up the good work
We need videos like this on CZcams. Man, you don't know how many articles and videos I have watched and even asked!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
He gives very clear and simple yet comprehensive explanation on how forwarding runs around. Thx and great job.
Awesome. This is one of the best tutorial video I've seen. Keep on charging mate.
Best way to put Port Forwarding into practice. Thank you for sharing!
aug 2022, still works.. very smart person here, you made it so understandable and simple. Props mate
Love your videos. Cheers from Ontario, Canada
Best video on remote connection out here!
Oh you beautiful magnificent nerd. Thank you so much. Your video helped me ressolve an unrelated issue I had since last week.
Amazing. The best video I have ever seen, by far, about explaining port forwarding and making it easily understandable. Fantastic video. Many thanks.
Excellent training!. Thank you.
I've been out of scope about this for a few years and needed a refresher because I'm coding a home server and forgot how to port forward out of my home! This was straight to the point and clear, can't wait to see if I did everything correctly now lol
Well done. It looks like Team viewer for me as I'm on Win 10 home. Thank you for an excellent tutorial!
worth subscribing...well explained and not in rush.Well done buddy
You just saved me so much time and money.. Thank you.
I never known If this process was so easy, ty so much.
very clear discussion. thank you
Outstanding video, clear, well presented and useful. Thank you from new subscriber.
Helped fixed my issue. Thank you!
oh my god you are my savior I have been working on this for hours I look at over 20 websites and this video is the only thing that worked thank you soon much
Glad to help. Just keep in mind the security risks associated with doing this. I didn't cover it, but it's worth a look and a think.
Awesome video would love to see a video on double port forwarding to access my server at home over the web
Uhmazingly simple. Thank you sir.
Thanks! It was helpful, wd take it forward from here
Hey Bro, You teach it in a very simple way, which is amazing and never seen a video so amazing, if possible can u make a video on networking at office or home with multiple computers, as my windows does not show all my computers on network
Great video thank you
fantastic video
very good video
very helpful
I'd definitely use either OpenSSH (built into Windows 10 now) or OpenVPN server to wrap the RDP traffic; if you went the SSH route you should also use public key authentication too.
Thank you.
Great video!!!!!! Now I can access my servers that are outside my network but in the same house lol....
best video ive seen
Would it be the same process for a nVR
great vid, very clear and easy to follow but maybe highlighting the dangers of opening up without a VPN would be a good 'ending' to at least warn people of the dangers, if they follow the video content as is then a final piece about vpns surely wouldnt blow minds
Hi, thanks for the video. My ISP only provide IPv6. I wonder how can I connect to one of my Ethernet device from internet. Can you help? Thanks!
thanks bro
thank you so much....
Very helpful
Hi can you please help me? What public ip address do you type in the field, is it the routers public ip or the ip of the device you are trying to cennect to?
Team viewer is so easy and great even Scammers are using it :D
Thnx🙏
This is good, but what if you don't have a public IP? Most of the ISPs no longer provide public IP as it becoming scarce and uses CGNAT instead. Port forwarding do not work in this case. Do you have a workaround for this situation?
Question: say one has a nas and wants to share files with his friends offsite how would one do that with port forwarding or something easier
Great video :) keep up the good work
What is the best way if you need to aceess 2 computers over internet on same local network other than to change the rdp port number ?
That, or remote into the other computer from the first one.
Can you please go over IPV6 portforwarding?
One thing a lot of these videos fail to mention, due to forgetting or changes with IPS, is that you need to have a static IP for portfowarding to work, and you need to do that through your IPS with an extra charge to your bill. I also THINK you need to have some ports opened through your router which the IPS also does but im not 100% sure on that 1
Great tutorial 👍
What if the computer I am trying to log into has other devices that have port forwarding on its local network? In my work place I have online CCTV and every time I try to remote access I get the CCTV and not the computer
Hi, I need help in set up rdp over different network. I'm trying to do port forwarding but still it's not connecting.
For real i dont even speak in english that well and i understood everything!!!
Opening port 3389 on a firewall is a big no no in networking.
Why
@@softwirelexlimited8955 default port for RDP which is a commonly scanned port for brute force attacks
How about forwarding the port, but I can still see the file of that machine like viewing the files of the machines on the lan network?
Is there a way to have 2 different PC with remote access? i change 1 to 3389 and other to 3390 but I can login on the 2nd one
شكراً لك
Thanks matw
This was a great video and I think I finally have everything set up the way I need it to be. However, with my computer account being a microsoft account, I can't seem to log in and access my remote desktop using the pin to login or my password for my microsoft account. Do you have any suggestions to solve this?
I had the same issue. The PIN will never work. It had to be the Microsoft login for me.
how do I really share my internet to another pc very far through socks5 proxy server and port forwarding?
Does this work for shared folders too?
How do I disable remote access on my network bridge? Because my parents gained access to my network bridge on windows 10 and now my PS4, blu ray player, and Xbox 360 became remotely accessed. Is there any way to stop it?
good
from the 9:27 paragraph is that way you can still view and get the file of that person's computer is it still right
So easy talk to get thank you !! ❤ really ! But is that all safe ? Is that should be always 3389 ??
It's port 3389 by default in windows at least, but it can be changed. Like anything in life, it does come with some risks. There are safer ways to connect.
Great video. Do you mind doing a video on protocols
pretty ricky There are tens of thousands of protocols.
So when you think about data being sent from 1 host to another do you think about all those protocols or only the mains ones like bgp ospf etc
pretty ricky Yes I do and it hurts my head.
@@RealShipmate fuck man congrats . Currently studying for the ccna and any tips from one network tech to another ? Really focusing on the osi model & tcp/ip suit, you think I'm on the right track?
that warcract II tho!
Would the last one be possible if you are using the internet from a building you are working in rather than your own personal internet?
Depends on the companies firewall and security rules. It's possible to do it, but that traffic could be easily blocked on their network.
Hi there, questions....
1 can you use an ethernet cable to connect from one pc to another, instead of wi fi or bluetooth.
2 when installing pro on pc over home edition can you use same product key on all computers, or do you have to buy a separate key for all computers.
3 One its connected can you remove monitor, mouse and keyboard from remote computer.
4 Can you connected the pc's together with special USB lead which i have, has plastic block in middle.
from Fred in Essex, England...
1) You would need a special kind of ethernet cable called a crossover cable.
2) no, each key is for a particular version of windows. You could pay to upgrade it though.
3) yes
4) Not sure what USB cable you're referring too, but most likely not, unless that is the USB cable's designed purpose
@@BudgetNerd Yes ok thanks, with the product key i bought one off line and changed from home to pro, i just wondered if i could use same key on another computer to avoid buying another one...F
You might be able to use it on another computer, if you are retiring the old one, just just have to try. But it will need to be the same version of windows the key came from.
In my router it's asking for LOCAL IP AND REMOTE IP SEPARATELY what should I put there ? Help if you can
Would Windows 10 Education on the PC being remotely accessed work instead of Pro or is it only Pro?
Pro or better. But it looks like the education version supports it. I'd confirm that with a good ole Google search before you spend any monies
How can I redirect the port by ip to access the internet?
6:35 what public ip address, is it the routers public ip, or the computer from the library or a server within the lan of your home. Pls i need help im so confused!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Public IP address of your router/modem at your home.
First, great job at explaining- I feel like anyone could easily follow along with this tutorial, but please please do not port forward RDP. It won't be a fun time. There are bots set up that comb the internet looking for IP addresses that have port 3389 open then they are logged, and bad things will happen. Set up a simple OpenVPN server to achieve this in a much more secure way.
I feel something familiar at 7:14
"All bills go to dad and all coupons go to mom" My man! lol
Port forwarding opens a back door to your home network. Its not secure. Use a vpn instead.
What if you want to have 2 PCs with remote access on the same network? How does the router know which of the 2 to access from 3389?
It wouldn't. You would manually change the rdp port on the second PC in the registry, then you could make a new rule for that PC, on the router, using the new port.
Really wish this gave clear instruction on how to do this from a Macbook to a PC desktop. My desktop is PC , my laptop is MAC & i've been pulling my hair out for days trying to connect to my desktop remotely (seemingly cannot be done unless i'm at home with my laptop connected to my wireless routers wifi network, which defeats the purpose). Tried everything (opening/forwarding port 3389 etc) & it still isn't working.
I could manage everything you mentioned until I tried entering the information you added for port forwarding, I am being asked to enter LAN host port, WAN port, WAN host IP address, and one more thing whereas you had to enter the external port, and internal port information which I don't see anywhere. I think if this gets sorted, I can connect to my work desktop remotely. Please help
Probably means the same thing. Just put in the same numbers
How to secure RDP connection?
While I appreciate the port-forwarding demonstration, I advise that you DON'T port forward RDP port to the internet! Make a home VPN using OpenVPN and forward the openVPN port to your router, the you can log in to your PC using your private IP address.
That's a good idea!
I did this but after 2 months it's suddenly not working anymore.
@@user-nu4cs1pg7q Did your external IP change? Do you have a DynDNS or a fixed IP? This could be one of the reasons it would stop working. Unless maybe your router has been reset to factory defaults (doubt it, you would notice it when connecting to WiFi, unless you left the default ssid and password, which is highly unrecommended). There could be lots of other issues.
On a side note, I've been using Wireguard on off-sites and it's way easier to setup and manage than openVPN, but you still have to go through the same hoops, like getting a fixed IP or a dyndns service, and port-forwarding your VPN port (IMO not that hard, but I'm obviously biased, because I work in the domain).
What's the harm if I'm using my own Microsoft account username and password? That will take ages to crack.
@@rambolambo3441 Well! you re right about that
Hi, I can't make it work on my machine , I continuously get the error shown @ 10.25 min of you video. What I can do to fix it ?Please Guide me ,(my machine is Huawei DN8245f2)
How about to access your computer securely from anywhere ? Open VNC ports on your network makes you a huge target. As seen by the hundreds of millions of login attempts in the logs. And wasn't TeamViewer hacked ? There is some SSH port forward screen sharing option if i'm not mistaken.
and scammers abusing it :)
TeamViewer was compromised a while back, but sure scrambled to fix it. Ready for the next compromise I guess. Several people have mentioned the openvpn, and that's a good idea.
Nice video. But I have one question. How is this save? Can‘t anyone with my public ip access my pc then?
It's not for everyone, and there is a risk, but not everyone can access your computer. They'd need a username and password, or brute force their way in. But most people agree, more security is needed.
I appreciate you speaking clearly, in English, thank you lol
ok so still can not connect outside my network. Whee do I enter the port number im connecting to? just my ip address aone will not connect it
No need to enter the port number in the remote desktop window unless you changed it. Just need the public IP address. I do offer some troubleshooting steps in the video. Your public IP address could have changed, there are a few things you could double check.. or run through all the steps again to be sure they are correct.
What if I need to do this between 2 subnets on the same device?
tldp.org/HOWTO/ppp-ssh/forwarding.html (this might help)
NICE GUIDE! Thank you! I had troubles understanding and doing this but now it works. Now i have only 1 question.
Yesterday i set everything, went to work and it was working perfectly. Then i called my ISP(only ISP has access to router due to security reasons and dumb people doing dumb stuff there :D ) and added a 2nd routing to my laptop but now neither of them works. How can i add a 2nd pc in my network so i can access it too?
What do you mean you "added 2nd routing to your laptop?" Sometimes your public ip address changes, could be that too.
I figured it out. Added 3388 as external and 3389 ias internal and now i can connect to both
@@BudgetNerd also i use chrome remote to access and check public ip 😀😀
i have 2 computers i want to acces, so i dont know what to do, i assume that i'l just need to put the other computer in other port, like 3388, but when i want to acces y dont know how to specify what port to use
You could use a different port, but then you'd have to edit the registry to tell Windows what port to use. It's possible to use the PC you first remoted into, to them just remote into the other one.
cant get this to work...followed all the steps but cant access pc outside of the network...setup port forwarding as instructed, pc has static IP, desktop ports are open for RDP.....what else could i be missing
'To show it to your friends, how nerdy u are' 😆😆.
Instead of a public address what ia a long address what some people can't remember. You can also make a free dns and log in with a name that is easier to remember.
what is the difference between the internal and external port and do they have to be the same number?
It's in case you want to forward a port coming in externally to another port internally. But for the purposes of this video, you wouldn't do that, so they are the same.
@@BudgetNerd THANK YOU
Can you have more than 1 RDP connections. Example 2 different users trying to RDP into 2 different computers (not the same computer). Maybe I am asking how can you port forward 2 incoming RDP connections to 2 different computers. Is this possible? Thank you for the great video.
You can, but takes more configuring, including manually assigning different ports to different computers. Or you could remote into the one that is configured and then use that one to remote into the others.
@@BudgetNerd Thank you for replying. Currently 2 people wanted to remote into their perspective computers to work because they have covid. It's a small office with 4 users.
Ah then you'd setup a second port. But keep in mind the security concerns of opening up some ports on your network. It's not for everyone.
@@BudgetNerd Thank you for your reply.
How to access my home network outside city ?
how can i get my username and password from manuel
If you give access to your virtual machine remotely to someone can they access your host pc? (teamviewer or whatever)?
I'm no hacker, so not for sure, but for normal use they wouldn't have access to host pc.
@@BudgetNerd No, I mean ,if I gave someone remote access to the Virtual machine then they would only have access to VM and NOT to host system ,right?
I corrected an error in my response above. That is what I'm talking about as well. They wouldn't have access to the host machine.
@@BudgetNerd I see ,ok thanks!
hey i`m having problems can you help me ?
I can’t reach the router setting as I am using a vps computer.
I want to access my smb/ftp device from anywhere. But i don't know how
it doesn't work for me if when i tried to connect from other network , btw it works when i use the same network connection
When ever i put 192.168.1.1 into google it says the site couldnt be reached. Help?
You don't want to search for it. Don't put it into the Google search bar, put it in the address bar of your web browser. If it still doesn't work, you'll want to make sure that actually is your router's address. Instructions on how to find your routers address are in the video.
@@BudgetNerd it says its 192.168.1.1 and i put it in the address like you did and it says it cant be reached
I would check your router's manual for instructions on how to log in to it. Some routers might be configured a bit differently.
What if you have more than one computer you want to access remotely?
You can manually set other computers to use different ports.
how to forward it to my router! need to access 192.168.1.1
