Access To My LAN Office Network From Any Location by abrahambest(m): 7:10am On May 12, 2019
Hey guys, please I need assistance with this. I have setup a LAN for an office and I need to be able to access the same network remotely. Any ideas on how to go about this please? I am willing to pay anyone with a working solution to this issue please.

Do you have a firewall ? There are various ways you can gain access especially through your firewall. What kind of firewall do you have installed.
Re: Access To My LAN Office Network From Any Location by abrahambest(m): 7:17am On May 12, 2019
It's just windows firewall. Here is what the problem is exactly. I have developed a software using mysql database. The database is installed on a computer which acts as the server. Other computers in the network are able to connect to same database. Now, I want to be able to also connect to the same database even when I m not physically connected to the network from a remote location.

Port forwarding can be done. Who is your ISP?

MTN. I have an MTN 4g LTE router but it seems the port forwarding settings are not complete. I have tried that option B4.

Wanted to go for another router (Swift) but the ISP isn't available at that location. Could you recommend another router

Keep a system on standby 247 and use team viewer.



That's the only other option I can think of

I thought of that as well but its not just one user that needs to access the database from a remote location. Other people want to access too
Re: Access To My LAN Office Network From Any Location by abrahambest(m): 8:27am On May 12, 2019
I only need to have remote access so I can use same database in the lan. There's a front end software that needs to connect to that database which has to be run from any remote computer

Request for a static IP from MTN.

quick tip: Make sure you setup your firewall rules properly, and that your network is not vulnerable before making it public. I may exploit it. xD

Very simple......do ip and port forwarding. Forward the ip address of the computer running the application and open the port.
2nd option, get a static ip from ur isp. Den configure vpn l2tp, pptp etc on ur router. Den set up vpn client on ur laptop. Den u can access the app anywhere.

Any1 u want.

I agree with this solution because most ISP provides dynamic ips.
