I have been trying to access my arduino outside of my local network for a while now. I think i've set port forwards that direct to my arduino's ip address but i can't seem to get it working.
I can access it locally via http://192.168.1.10:85/. I've set up port 85 to forward to the arduino's ip at port 85. I know my router's external ip. It's 99.70.245.xxx. I tried to go to http://99.70.245.xxx:85 on my phone(outside my local network) but i can't connect.
Here are a couple pics of me setting up the port forward.
here is my arduino code. I tried manually setting the gateway and subnet, but that didn't work either. Anybody have any suggestions?
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>
// Enter a MAC address and IP address for your controller below.
// The IP address will be dependent on your local network:
byte mac[] = {
0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED };
IPAddress ip(192,168,1, 10);
//byte gateway[] = { 99, 40, 214, 1 }; //Manual setup only
// byte subnet[] = { 255, 255, 252, 0 }; //Manual setup only
// Initialize the Ethernet server library
// with the IP address and port you want to use
// (port 80 is default for HTTP):
EthernetServer server(85);
void setup() {
// Open serial communications and wait for port to open:
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) {
; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for Leonardo only
}
// start the Ethernet connection and the server:
Ethernet.begin(mac, ip);
server.begin();
Serial.print("server is at ");
Serial.println(Ethernet.localIP());
}
void loop() {
// listen for incoming clients
EthernetClient client = server.available();
if (client) {
Serial.println("new client");
// an http request ends with a blank line
boolean currentLineIsBlank = true;
while (client.connected()) {
if (client.available()) {
char c = client.read();
Serial.write(c);
// if you've gotten to the end of the line (received a newline
// character) and the line is blank, the http request has ended,
// so you can send a reply
if (c == '\n' && currentLineIsBlank) {
// send a standard http response header
client.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
client.println("Content-Type: text/html");
client.println("Connnection: close");
client.println();
client.println("<!DOCTYPE HTML>");
client.println("<html>");
// add a meta refresh tag, so the browser pulls again every 5 seconds:
// client.println("<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"5\">");
// output the value of each analog input pin
for (int analogChannel = 0; analogChannel < 6; analogChannel++) {
int sensorReading = analogRead(analogChannel);
client.print("analog input ");
client.print(analogChannel);
client.print(" is ");
client.print(sensorReading);
client.println("
");
}
client.println("</html>");
break;
}
if (c == '\n') {
// you're starting a new line
currentLineIsBlank = true;
}
else if (c != '\r') {
// you've gotten a character on the current line
currentLineIsBlank = false;
}
}
}
// give the web browser time to receive the data
delay(1);
// close the connection:
client.stop();
Serial.println("client disonnected");
}
}
