Hi Oliv30,
it seems your router is behind double NAT. To connect from outside the local network, you need a public IP address. What operating system are you using?
If it’s Windows, search for and run cmd (command line)
. In it, enter the command tracert 8.8.4.4
The command shows which routers your packets go through.
The results should look similar to this
:
1 2 ms 1 ms <1 ms routername.x.com [192.168.1]
2 62 ms 2 ms 1 ms some name [second IP address]
…
…
9 * 6 ms 6 ms dns.google [8.8.4.4]
On Linux in the console you can use a similar command traceroute 8.8.4.4
You may need to install traceroute
command..
The results will look similar to Windows
.
If the second IP in the results is an address for private networks, e.g.
A 10. 0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
B 172. 16.0.0 – 172. 31.255.255
C 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255
This will mean that your router is behind double NAT.

Tom
