Just one addendum to Fred's good advice: You can (I do) use a dynamic IP address (i.e. not static). MicroBit (the makers of remoterig) operate a dynamic domain name server that can re-map your radio site on the Internet when its IP address changes. I don't recall the details of getting started, but once you follow the directions, you end up with an 8-character coded string that you enter into the remote rig controller (RRC) pages. From then on, the radio RRC keeps the DDNS server apprised of its current, dynamic, IP address so the control RRC will always find the radio RRC. I've also used the same facility to address other, unrelated devices at my radio site as <string>.ddns.remoterig.com:<port number>. It's slick!
