How to make a global server for esp8266?

Question

PHP

I need to make a Web server for esp8266 , but make it not within the router, but accessible from anywhere in the world.
No matter how much I google, instructions are everywhere on how to make a local one.
I want to make an HTML or PHP page so that data is transferred from Arduino to the site, and vice versa.

/* Настройки IP адреса */
IPAddress local_ip(192,168,1,1); // вставьте белый адрес, На самом деле не стоит
IPAddress gateway(192,168,1,1);
IPAddress subnet(255,255,255,0);

Just having a white address on the router, do port forwarding
for example 17.17.99.80:8090 -> 192,168,1,1:80 protocol TCP
Or configure NGINX to reverse proxy the local address, the recommended option

Answer 2

You need to start with the fact that each device must have its own network address (IPv4, IPv6) and then it can be accessible within a certain subnet. Usually websites are accessed by domain name.
Depending on the goals, you can use access via HTTP (REST API in PHP, for example), MQTT and others.

0. Your ISP gives you a white, or at least gray, but at least some external IP. It won't take off without it.
1. Run according to the instructions that about the local one.
2. In the router settings, forward external connections to port 80 (the standard browser port) to the port of your esp-shki. (google "how to forward port model_router")
That's it, now your esp-box is visible from the Internet, and any Chinese virus can try to hack it.
Optionally, you can buy or register a free domain and link it to your external IP.

As far as I understand you need an api. Buy hosting or if possible share the server on your machine. I don’t know how Arduino connects, but most likely you will need to specify the address of your api with a key and send POST, GET requests there.
