Connecting to a WebServer over internet

Hello, I have created a simple VI that creates two random numbers every 2 seconds. Then I used this tutorial to publish the VI to the web so that I am able to control it on another device. And it works great as long as the second device is connected to the same network as my PC where the VI is running. Is there any way to use that published VI on a device, using a web browser (without using LabView),  that is connected to a different network?

This is a general networking question and depends on many things. Is the server on a private network behind NAT? In this case, the router needs to be configured to forwards incoming connection to the public IP to the private IP of the computer running the server. You might also need to change firewall permissions. Can you describe your network topology? (If the NAT router does not incorporate a loopback proxy, you might not be able to connect to your VI via the public IP if your client is on the same network.)
