Hi everyone,
topic equals question 🙂
I developed on a local mashine with a client- and a serverapplication with 127.0.0.1…
But now i need a connection between 2 PCs over the internet. How to do that?
You need to configure the necessary port forwarding so that your applications can connect to each other using public IP addresses. If you search google for this topic there are loads of examples:

MarcAnd then i can use TCPConnection.StartListening with a remote IP?
You still listen on the internal private IP, as detected when you use
TCPConnection.StartListening. The port forwarding will forward any necessary traffic from the public IP to the configured private IP.Thanks for your reply!
But the two machines need to know of each other, don’t they?
For example I have one machine in paris and another in new york. And for that i need both remote IPs, don’t I?
How to connect each other?
I forwarded the port 44444 on my router, tried to start listening and it says:
It was not possible to open port #44444 on *********. This endPoint may not support listening or possibly try again using a different port.
So, did you try using a different port?
I tried 55555, 56001, 50001… none of them worked
They should work, what method are you calling when you get that exception?
TCPConnection.StartListening(…) with my remote IP
