How to open a server for the Internet?

Question

ubuntu

There is a server on Ubuntu in VirtualBox with ip 192.168.1.***. Is it possible to "open" it to the internet/access it over the network?

Answer 1

the very first thing you need is a white ip, then set up a port forward on the ip with the server

Answer 2

The very first thing you need to do is set up a network bridge. From memory, the type of network adapter is changed in Virtual Box, the physical connection and the virtual one are combined into a network bridge in the Windows interface, after which Ubuntu on the VM and the physical machine on Windows are on the same subnet, with different addresses (192.168.1.x and 192.168. 1.y). Next, it's up to you to set up port forwarding. Write in more detail what service you want to make available behind NAT? What equipment is the ISP's internet cable connected to?
If we are talking about a web server and you have a router, then in its settings you need to specify a rule for incoming packets on port 80, redirect packets to the address 192.168.1.y and the same port. Also find out if you have a white ip?

Answer 3

Look towards the words router, NAT, virtual server, static / dynamic IP. And 192.168.1.*** is a private address, you can't see it from the Internet.
