1. Setting up:
Go to the ThinVNC Server Settings "Communications" tab and mark the "Enable Dynamic IP Address Resolution & Shared SSL Certificate" option. This will generate your own thinvnc.net public address, similar to the blue link shown on the figure below and will generate also a PIN number:
2. Configuring the router:
If you have UPnP, enabling Dynamic IP Address Resolution & Shared SSL Certificate can automatically open the port for you on the router.
In order to test if this option did open the port, access ThinVNC through the provided address (https://pin_number.thinvnc.net) from a computer outside the network. If it connects to the application it means the port is already opened and you are all ready to go. If you get an "Invalid parameters" message, it means you will need to forward the port manually, as follows:
2.1. Port Forwarding:
a. Access the router by typing into a browser the IP for the Default Gateway.
b. Authenticate with the router credentials.
c. Go to the port forwarding section and pick a port for internet access. It can be the same port number as the one ThinVNC is running on, or a different one.
d. Forward the internet port to the machine internal IP where you have installed ThinVNC and the port where it's running.
e. Save the changes.

You can then distribute this address to provide internet access to this machine, via ThinVNC.
