How Port Punching Works
Instead of making a direct call to the modem, connection is initiated from the inside: both your remote phone and the country-house router send outbound packets to a shared secure coordinator. This establishes a secure virtual local network directly between devices, bypassing any closed ports of your mobile provider.
Setup Instructions
- Install the Tailscale or ZeroTier app on your phone and your home mini-PC or router
- Authorize both devices under the same account and enable exit node functionality if needed
- Use the virtual address assigned by the internal network to access your cameras and storage drives
- Set up an automatic service restart in case of temporary cellular network drops
