Since I got retrenched I have gotten into doing a lot of odd jobs. I also service cars and is earning enough to call it a fulltime job. As long as Toyota keeps on building shitty cars I am golden.
That said I am working on a home atomization project and got things to start working. Thing is the client aka brother in law wants to control his home outside of his home network. Easy enough I thought, turns out it is not that easy.
I did some research and was told Port forwarding is the way to go. I am not pretending I understand half of this stuff.
Is port forwarding safe?
How do I know if router can do port forwarding?
There is also the problem of it not being a static IP. I can build the app to automatically update the IP while on the home network that is easy enough. But what do you guys think.
What possible ****ups are there in this situation. I am just worried the man gets hacked and blame it on me.
