I’m studying to create an Android app to consume a webservice, for example an app on Android and one on a micro which reads information sent by the Android app. Is there any solution to this "problem", I saw something in No-ip(dynamic DNS), would it be possible to access a web-Service on a micro using No-Ip.

    Need to be a cost-free solution? Why not invest in a VPS? There are several companies with reasonable VPS’s at low prices (5 dollars per month).

  • Interesting did not know the VPS, I will do a search and inform myself better, but from what I saw is like a VM on a server. can be a solution!

  • Because it’s being sealed off as "outside the scope"?

The free version of no-ip currently requires you to revalidate your host monthly.

Nothing prevents you from upgrading later to one of the offered plans.

Using a webservice of a server with dynamic DNS works independent of ANDROID or any other client. Just leave exposed the port you want to use in the firewall.

Example: Although port 80 is standard for HTML, you can place 8888 and remap locally on your server, modem or Firewal.

To get around this problem in another way, just hire the FIXED IP service of your operator, which is usually not expensive. And it’s worth more than waiting for the spread of DNS to the new IP. It takes around 30 minutes.

  • OK! Interesting, I even thought of a fixed IP but it is to start studies even, I have already installed the no-IP on my PC, and is accessing from outside, I need to see better the question of the ports and the response time. in the future to engage something I believe that the best would be a fixed IP.

  • But not if forget it, need to sign in to the site and revalidate your host once a month.

  • Correct, I saw this when I created my account, I started today to create a Web Service by Net Beans to give a test! Grateful!
