I've noticed when I am on WiFi, airdroid shows this:
https://192.168.200.201:8890
Why does it not show my external IP? 64.x.x.x?
How are the AirDroid servers going to connect to this 192.168.x.x IP? It's a private network..
AirDroid should be able to resolve my *real* external IP and say https://64.x.x.x:8890 which has Port Forwarding configured to my internal IP of 192.168.200.100:8890.
Airdroid PC -> 64.x.x.x:8890 ----Port Forward---> 192.168.200.201:8890
The current setup is very limiting as it always requires you to be on the same network there are millions of reasons why we wouldn't want this..(at work..my PC cannot go on Wifi but my phone can only go Wifi) With port forwarding this could be much more flexible and you can use AirDroid from anywhere..But not like this.
Over 3G/4G/LTE it simply cannot connect. Even with Web Droid. I log in, it tries to connect for about 1 minute and then fails. (Screenshot)
If this is normal, maybe someone can help me figure out why this doesn't work on Wifi or 3G. Thanks
