Hi there,

I'm playing with for a few days. For test purpose i'm trying to access to my own android phone and do some operations with it. I'm using wifi for that and it's working normally with metasploit payload. But when my laptop is connected to my wifi and my android phone is using mobile data or internet (wan basically) then how can i hack it (remember i'm not trying to harm someone). I've forwarded my port in the router setting. Do i need to do that i that case? I've seen some videos on the youtube. Those guys are using ngrok or portmap.io to forward port. But i'm confused why i need to do that if i've router settings to do that. Do i need to do the same even i have the wifi router (please clear my confusion)?

Basically my question is when my laptop is connected to wifi and the desired device is connected to internet then how to hack it?

Thanks

Port forwarding on your router is for devices connected to your router.
When your phone is connected to the phone service provider (WAN as you said), it is not connected to your router then.
So, forwarding port on your router does nothing to do what you want to do.
