Hey, so i am using this service called mStream
(http://www.mstream.io/) and once it is all setup you connect to it
using either http://localhost:port
or
http://ip-adress:port


What i am trying to do is make it possible to connect to this while
outside of my home network? (school for example)

i’ve been trying many different ways, port forwarding being one, but i
have found no success.
Any help is appreciated!!

Using a VPN. Look up Tailscale.

After messing about with multiple solutions, the best method I have
found is Wireguard.

If I don't want to open a given service to the internet at large I use
a vpn. Wireguard works and is no-nonsense. I use the [wg-
easy](https://hub.docker.com/r/weejewel/wg-easy) container because
life's too short to manually edit config files.
