SSH over different wifi
November 10, 2023, 10:56
if I'm on a different network is there a way to still ssh into my pi?
VPN or port forwarding, but you need to explain yur ssituation a bit more
well I want to control my robot when I'm on data or a freinds WiFi
Wireguard.
could you explain more about that?
Instead of you using your local ip (192.xxx.xxx.xxx) to access it, you use some ip somewhere like pi@52.124.110.13:22 and when you do it and enter your passwd you'll enter it
Anyone around the world connected to the internet can too
So you need to secure it
And if you didn't mean to access it from around the world try using your data
Like hotspot of your mobile and setup the pi so it connects automatically to it
the pi will be at home
so I use my public IP?
how can I get my public IP, also I know to make sure to be secure with this one
You can see this in the router or if you are in your network, you can find out your public IP at https://mxtoolbox.com/whatismyip/.
But remember that this can change every 24 hours or less, depending on your internet provider, if you don't have a fixed public IP.
I can't really speak much as to how to setup wireguard on a device. I have it on my unifi controller and that gives me access to my local network. I would assume you install and configure the wireguard server on the pi, port forward for it in your router, then add a user for yourself on the pi, and copy/transfer the config file to your client device.
once you connect a wireguard server you should have full access to your home network.
ok thank you guys ill close this thread now
