Port Forwarding from ZTE to No-IP

I’d spent my whole day to config my network router(ZTE F660) forwarding port from raspberrypi(web server) to free domain name via No-IP. I won’t mention to how to register because it’s so easy.

No-IP.com Configuration

After signing in to no-ip.com, we need to create a hostname first by select the left-hand side menu, “No-IP Hostnames”

Then, create a hostname. For example abcd.ddns.net. If we connect to internet via our router(required), the IP will be filled automatically. However, this IP will be changed dynamically.

ZTE configuration

According to many ISPs haven’t allowed us to use port 80, we have to use other ports instead. For this case, I use 8000. That’s mean, I want to forward port 8000 from external requests to port 80 of local server(raspberrypi web server)

Under the menu Application > Port Forwarding. I filled values as the picture shown.

192.168.1.2 is the ip of raspberrypi which is already installed and run web server service.

Now, you can access raspberrypi web server via free public hostname :)
