    You've mistakenly confused an ipad with a useful tool...




    Actually, you need to download/purchase an ipad app like winadmin by Carter Harrison, LLC or remote desktop by mochasoft

    Odds are you are missing another port that needs to be open.

    That or maybe they are blocking that port through your wwan. This happens with Verizon software, it has a built in firewall.

    Make sure you are using the External IP address (a more common mistake than people think)
