Server-Client IP Connection Over Internet

edited August 2017 in Library Questions

I am writing a very simple server and client application. The server and client communicate over IP. I have successfully run the program over my LAN and it seems to work. However I am not able to connect over the internet at large.

My guess is that the port is probably blocked by a firewall for security reasons. Is it possible to open an IP connection between two machines while reducing risks associated with having an open port? Would it be possible to use a VPN or other service to achieve this?
