Where Can I Find Step-By-Step Directions For Making My FreedomBox Publicly Accessible From The Web?

  1. First, you should go to https://ddns.freedombox.org/ip and set the IP that you see as an A record for your domain.
  2. You should then log in to your router’s admin interface and assign a static local IP address to your FreedomBox. Once you’ve done that, look for DMZ or Port Forwarding. If there’s DMZ, go for it, otherwise set up port forwarding for your FreedomBox’s IP on port 80 and port 443.

  1. At this point, if everything went well, you should test your connection: preferably from another network, like your phone’s mobile internet, try to visit your domain.
