Connecting over the Internet

Top  Previous  Next

R-Studio and R-Studio Agent can be connected over the Internet. The connection can be made either using IP addresses or DNS names.

If hosts where R-Studio and R-Studio Agent are running have public IP addresses the connection can be made the same way as for the local network, except that the IP address or DNS name should be explicitly specified in the Computer filed the Connect to Remote Computer dialog box

If either (or both) of the hosts are on private networks behind NATs and firewalls and do not have public IP addresses, the corresponding ports should be opened or forwarded. In addition, connection should be made either only from R-Studio or from R-Studio Agent.
