Hi, I understand the issue you're facing. We've installed a new router with the ISP and phone system. Previously, we had a port forward for an IP camera that allowed access even when the owner was away. The new router doesn't support port forwarding without specifying a source IP address. This makes it difficult for the owner to view the camera remotely on their mobile or while traveling. They're not willing to adjust their rules. I'm looking for solutions to work around this limitation. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

Consider employing a Dynamic DNS service together with a VPN to allow access to his personal network.

Yes, you can use 0.0.0.0 or 0.0.0.0/0 as the source IP address, which indicates connectivity to any available network interface.

You definitely can forward ports over the Internet. I’ve done this before on a Linux server at a friend’s place so I could access their ISP’s Usenet that was limited to their customers only. Just remember the bandwidth it will consume on the server you’re using. In practice, it behaves just like the setup between your local network and the wider internet.
