5.2 Remote Web Access

There are two main methods for setting up remote access: UPnP/DDNS, and Port Forwarding.
5.2.1 UPnP/DDNS Remote Access Setup
Using Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and Dynamic Domain Name Server (DDNS) functionality is the easiest way to
setup stable remote access. For this method, your router should support the uPnP networking protocol and the
protocol should be enabled. Please refer to your router manufacturer's documentation to learn how to enable
uPnP on your router.
