Would this work over the internet to a remote Foreflight?

I'm wondering if this app would be able to transmit the ForeFlight data to a remote participant, who is connected over the internet? (think virtual flight lesson, where the instructor is connected with his iPad at his home to your local FS2020 session at your home)

Would in such case ForeFlight detect FS2FF under the "Devices" tab?

Which port would he need to open in his firewall/router to receive the data?

Thanks!

Ok, missed the port nr in the description which is 49002. But would there be any chance to have ForeFlight detect this service via internet?

Unfortunately, IP detection through NAT devices (e.g. routers or firewalls) is impossible. You might be able to configure the app to work over the internet by using port forwarding, but it's not something I've tried out.

Thanks for your response. I'll reach out to the ForeFlight support and ask for details how the discovery could work over the internet and get back to you.
