Port forward to server using android smartphone via mobile Hotspot

  •  Most of us use mobile hotspot to share internet with friends and family.
  •  but when u need to make your PC or Laptop to a home server which u need to access from anywhere, its not possible in a smartphone directly or without a router. 
  • Inorder to solve this,We can use PORT FORWARDER app in our android smartphone to access your server globally.
      

        Port Forwarder APP Play Store LINK:    Fwd-Port Forward app

     Install the above mentioned app on your android smartphone and do as below:

    Step 1: App must look like this Screenshot,  

    Tap + button to add Rules.

    Step 2: Now Add Rules as shown below:

                    NOTE: incoming port number should not be less than 1024.

                                  U cannot fwd port 80 of mobile to port 80 of ur PC.

                                  U can only fwd port number Greater than 1024.

    See Example shown below:

    In my case i used 8080 as incoming and target as 80

    STEP 3: Add Rule as shown below and save.

    In my case, i used 8080 as mobile ph port and 80 as laptop apache server port number.

             

     In order to find ur PC IP Address.

    •  PRESS WINKEY+X -->Open Command Prompt .

                                         Or

       PRESS WINKEY + R--> opens RUN --> TYPE CMD to open Command Prompt.

     Step 4: Click Start, Now Port fwd is ACTIVE.

    Step 5: NOW goto SETTINGS--> About Phone--> Status 

                note down ur IP Address.

    Step 6: Type the IP Address seen in mobile followed by port number in ur browser or any other PC or Laptop or anyother mobile which is connected to internet.

    • IF everything is OK , U must see that traffic on your mobile port 8080 is automatically forwarded to laptop wamp server port 80.

     

    Example as shown in screenshot:

    Type IP address which you have noted from SETTINGS --> ABOUT PHONE followed by PORT number.
