Hi guys, I am new to Openfire and it won't be wrong for me to say that I am pretty much new to networking and servers. I have read some things about it and I am creating an Android app that will be a chat app. I am trying to create something like WhatsApp so I read about Openfire as it uses XMPP which is what I am looking for. I had Openfire set up as localhost and it was working just on my network. But what I want is to have this server accessible by public. So that when people download my app, this app automatically creates their account with their phone number on this server. Then they will automatically sign in and begin chatting with the people that are online on the server. That is the programming part which I know how to do but I don't know how I can set up this Openfire server so that it allows people from any network to connect to it. I have read alot about this but I can't find an answer that can help me. Can someone please explain to me how I can set up this server? The more detailed the answer, the better it is for me to understand. Thank you in advance.
