The video tutorial provides comprehensive steps for setting up Wakon 1 on both PC and smartphone, emphasizing configuring DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) and port forwarding to enable remote access. The process involves accessing router settings through the Command Prompt to find necessary network information like the default gateway address and configuring DDNS using the 'noip' service. Users register on the noip website, create a hostname, and input these details into the router’s DDNS settings. The video further explains setting up port forwarding, enabling DMZ, and configuring port mapping and triggering settings.

Additionally, the presenter instructs installing applications like "Con Lawn" to manage the devices remotely. Essential steps include finding the MAC address and inputting router IP and hostname details within the app. Finally, the presenter demonstrates remote functionality by controlling their PC from a mobile device, ensuring connectivity through the app outside the home VPN. The video concludes with a demonstration of the application working over mobile data and an invitation for viewers to subscribe.

In this part of the video, the creator demonstrates how to set up Wakon 1 on both a PC and a smartphone. The steps include accessing the Command Prompt (cmd) to find the default gateway address using the “ipconfig” command. This default gateway address is then used to log into the router settings via a browser. In the router settings, the user must navigate to the DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) configuration section. The creator explains how to enable DDNS and choose a provider, recommending ‘noip’ for its free service. The process involves registering on the noip website by filling in required fields and signing up for a free account. After registration, the user logs in, creates a hostname in the Dynamic DNS section, and uses this hostname in the router’s DDNS configuration. Finally, the user inputs their registered email and password to complete the setup.
