How do I make my xampp server public using my public ip address? [closed]

Answer 1

1. Q: This sounds like a home network, correct?

2. Q: Do you have a registered domain? Or do you want people to access your site by IP address?

3. Your internal, LAN address is 192.168...

   You can find your external ("WAN") address by looking at your router (which may be the Netgear, or might be yet another router - the one built in to your DSL or cable modem).

   You can also find it by pointing your browser here:

4. Be advised that, unless you have a "static IP" from your provider, this external address might change at any time. It might stay the same for months ... or it might change multiple times/day. "It depends".

5. Be advised, too, that the moment you open anything on your firewall - especially a web site - you leave yourself potentially vulnerable to hackers. You absolutely need to make sure you have adequate security in place to protect against this eventuality.

6. Suggestion: look at DynDNS (or alternatives):

   Or just shop around for a web hosting service that appeals to you :)
