Client/Server communication over the internet using ZeroMQ

I am new to zeroMQ. I am trying to develop a simple client server application and I am following the tutorials on zeroMQ’s website:

Server: http://zguide.zeromq.org/cs:wuserver

Client: http://zguide.zeromq.org/cs:wuclient

It’s working fine when I am trying to connect to the server using Local Host Loop Back IP(127.0.0.1) or internal LAN IP but when I attempt to connect over the Internet, i do not receive any messages on the client side.

I have a couple questions:

1- Is this even possible? If not then is there any better way to implement the publisher/subscriber messaging model?

2- Am i doing anything wrong? Do i need to do something differently for communication over the internet?

Hoping to get some positive feedback.

Regards.

You probably have a firewall that has blocked external connections to the port you're using. You might try looking at the admin for your router () and opening a certain port to use for testing.
