How to get working over WAN
How to get working over WAN
Hello,
I am having trouble getting WizOS V1.7 working over a WAN. Works find over my LAN.
I already have a hostname but need a quick start guide for config on my T4 / FW19.3
Tried already going into Network Settings > DYN-DNS and installing inadyn-mt but it will not let me add/edit any of the settings.
Please help.

Re: How to get working over WAN
If you have already set up your dynamic DNS name on your router or some other device on the LAN, then you don't need to also configure that on your Wiz. (since your Internet IP address is already known).
What you need to do is configure a port-forward in your router so that the WizOS app can connect from the Internet to your Wiz's web interface port through the router.
I would strongly advise against doing that though. Even if you have enabled web security with encryption and passwords on the Wiz OpenWebIf, the Wiz security should not be exposed to the wild Internet otherwise you risk someone exploiting an unknown flaw and gaining access to your home network.
You should instead set up a VPN on your router and connect your mobile device to that VPN to gain access to your whole home network. You can then access not only the Wiz, but your PCs and other devices.
The steps to set up a VPN on the router will depend on what sort of router you have.
On the Wiz, you will need to open the OpenWebIF settings and enable the option "Enable access from VLANs".
Also consider installing "GB Player" on your mobile device. It is similar to WizOS, but is more up to date and you will probably find it works better.

Yes, you can either use a suitable WiFi USB dongle or a WiFi brridge with an Ethernet connection.
BTW: this topic is about WAN (Wide Area Network, or the broader Internet) not about WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network or WiFi). I'll create a new topic if there's extended discussion about this.
