Accessing Home device (Beaglebone Black) from remote location

[keenbm]

I am working on BeagleBone Black.I have connected BeagleBone Black with my WiFi router and assigned some fix Ip to it.With this setup i am able to open/access it on my local network(wifi) only.But my task is to access my BBB from any corner of the world through internet.
So,How can i access my BBB from remote location ??

Thank you!!!

You'd have to port forward whatever service you wanted to it.

I'd probably do something like open a non-related port on the WAN side (like 55555) toward the BBB on port 22 for SSH. Make sure you don't have passwordless login and a locked root account on the BBB. Then you should be able to access it from anywhere else by connecting to your WAN/Public IP address on port 55555 with Putty or similar.

Alternatively you would have a VPN appliance on your WAN edge to manage secure remote access to your local network.

In addition to what beers said, if you want to make it easy to access from the outside, you should register for a dynamic DNS provider like dyndns.org. This will allow you to access your home network with a friendly address like keenbm.dyndns.org instead of trying to remember a dynamic IP that changes.
