hello :slight_smile:
I'm now using esp8266 and with wifi manager,

a user can choose wifi and type password to connect.

then, a user get local ip which they can manipulate device like turn on off led(for example, typing 192.168.0.25/turnon).

but to do so, user should be in same ssid because it is internal ip address they are in.

To use it outside of home, they should do port forwarding which could be easy but burdensome.

is it possible for developer to portforward by code in arduino or android/ios?

Thank you!

No. The SSID is the network ID. That has nothing to do with the local IP address that you see.

The ONLY device in your network with a public facing IP address is your router. It is that IP address that you use, with the port that the Arduino is being forwarded data on. This means that you must enable port forwarding on your router, and assign a specific port to the Arduino (and use that as part of the URL - http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:nn/script, where the xs represent the public IP address and the ns are the port number).
