Remote Access of AP's OR CPE's that are not on Public IP

RouterOS General
1

My wireless infrastructure and client base are on private IP space.
My question is how can I access client devices or AP’s remotely if I need to when I am out of town?

I heard someone mention something like reverse port scanning or something along that line where you come in on the public IP of the WAN but after that is where I am lost…

If someone could define this action and maybe provide some helpful how-to would be appreciated greatly.

Thank you

You can run VPN. Setup VPN server on public available router and setup VPN client from private network router.

another way is to use DNAT to map public ports to the internal routers via the net facing router.

:open_mouth:

Umm, no! That creates some major security concerns.

Follow sergejs’s suggestion. It is the best way.

Thank you all very much for our responses.

So if I follow the PPTP method of establishing a VPN I should be able to achieve the goal of remote access to my network if required?

Thanking you all in advance for your input

Correct. If you are using a Windows VPN client you can have it use the remote gateway of the VPN and you can navigate through your routed hops if you have any too.
