You may have one or many computers at home or office, but they all get individual Local IPs from your router. Your router has a public IP and is your home’s or office’s public facing. Some homes or offices may have more than one public IP for their router or may have even multiple routers. Router can be configured to redirect an external request on any port to a local computer. Remote desktop’s default port is 3389, so like in this slide, your router needs a Port Forwarding Rule to redirect requests of port 3389 to IP 192.168.0.11. Then you, as a user of Cloudiha, need to scan the QR code and Cloudiha automatically requests a remote desktop to your router on port 3389. Router then connects you to 192.168.0.11 . Remember that 3389 is the default standard port number for remote desktop, but that can be changed if you need remote desktop to more than one computer.
Step 1: When you are at home or office network, open a browser and type in 192.168.0.1.
Step 2: We definitely recommend to setup a strong password for your router if you haven’t set it before. Most of new routers have default user & password which can be guessed by hackers.
Step 3: Go to ‘Advanced’ tab and find ‘Advanced Setup’ and finally click on ‘Port Forwarding / Port Triggering’. In the page, click on ‘Add Custom Service’.
Step 4: Give your service a name, use type “TCP & UDP”. Then set your start and end ports to 3389.
Step 5: Go back to ‘Advanced’ tab and find ‘Advanced Setup’ and finally click on ‘Port Forwarding / Port Triggering’. Make sure you are in ‘Port Forwarding’ mode and click on ‘Add’ button as shown in this slide.
Step 6: Find your service which you created in step 4. In ‘Send to LAN Server’, set the local IP of computer you want to remotely connect to and then press ‘Apply’. In our example, the local IP was 192.168.0.11. To find the local IP of your computer, login to that computer and open ‘Command Prompt’ from Windows start button. Then type ‘ipconfig’ and press enter. You will see your local IP in section called ‘IPV4 Address’.
