cc3200 webserver behind dynamic IP address

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3200

Hello,

I have a cc3200 connected to my home network which has a dynamic IP address that can of course change at any time. I would like to be able to write an iPhone app that can connect to the cc3200 from anywhere in the world. My question is how do I deal with the fact that I only have a dynamic IP address.

    You will need a broker of some sort on the Internet. The device will request using a pub/sub or polling mechanism, you then communicate with your app to the broker when external to your home network. I use a cloud service to do this, there are many that could help you.

    Hi Glenn,
    Thanks for the answer.

    Hi Saleem,
    If your ISP provides a dynamic IP address, then you would need some sort of a host name that would always point to this IP address. You can take a look at DDNS for this purpose. Or as Glenn mentioned you can use a suitable cloud service. You can then use services like port forwarding for re-directing the request on a particular port, to a particular system on the local network.
