Port forwarding?

ILoveZed · February 19, 2019

Hi, me and my friends got a really cool idea and for that idea we needed the Remotr app. It allows you to play PC games on your phone from anywhere. You just need to be connected to the internet on both devices. So i went to school and I was just about to connect to the PC when I got this message "Did you forget to forward TCP port 8193 on your router?" I didnt know how to fix this. I watched some videos on the internet, but still didnt understand what to put in the blank spaces. I even tried to search on the site of the app, but there they said "Make sure that TCP port 8193 is forwarded to the computer that has Remotr installed, and you will be able to connect to it no matter where you are, or how your mobile device is connected to the Internet". I am using a TP-Link router btw. Here are some screenshots

Can I recommend a different service instead? Parsec is a much better service and doesn't require port forwarding. Also, there's a chance your school is blocking that port, so forwarding it at home would be useless.

So i just tried it. It worked really fast, but i didnt find any gaming controls and the latency was a lot worse than the one on Remotr. And I think i found what is the problem. I was really confused, because i tried the app on the way to school and it worked perfectly, but when I got there it didnt. So I just found out that when the Remotr app on the PC is off it displays the same message. So maybe my pc fall asleep and locked and the app closed.
