Dataplicity is also a good option.  https://www.dataplicity.com

Thanks for the answers, one question, is it possible to see the GUI for Meteohub when you remote access the RPi?

This answer is specific to MeteoBRIDGE, but I suspect it would work for MH as well.  When I remotely access my RPi 600 kms away, I can input the IP into a browser window on the Pi and see the full local RPi interface.  Of course MB allows you to do that  via the Secret URL, but if the MB box needs to be rebooted this is the way to get at it.

Looks to me like you did not use the right instructions.  You have DIRECT access tot he Pi?

these are good ideas.  I can take it a step further.

While connected to the pi, through the terminal window (either using Putty or the Pi's desktop, type
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install xrdp
This installs the remote desktop.  With this you can use the remote desktop tool built into windows.  And you can use Weaved/remot3it to connect to the pi through the internet.

Whoops, my bad,  I have multiple Pi's around the house I remote into.  But I can only access the configuration screen in meteohub.
http://(it's ip-address in your network (such as 192.168.1.77/cgi-bin/meteohub.cgi 

Using Remot3it you can set up a direct link that interface.  Definitely change the password if you do that.

I can reach the meteohub GUI with my computer and with putty.

But I can only log in to root, root@meteohub-rpi:~#
The other examples they log in to pi@raspberrypi:~$

Is it any difference?

The difference is in permissions I believe. Pi is a user account while root is an admin.  Though with the meteohub build it may be limited as well.  To do any changes and setup say another web server to support your weather station data you'd have to do it from Pi after using "sudo su" to change into the SuperUser (ie admin) account. I always think of sudo as "SuperUser Do."  Gee, if I keep talking like this I'll start sounding like Scooby.

Ok, but the problem is that I can't login to pi@raspberrypi:~$. Is it even possible?
I will have access to the metoehub/RaspberryPi outside my own network.
Have any a solution or have anyone done a remote access on internet?
I am confused...

per the forum header for the meteohub, the Meteohub build is a total product, a Debian build of Linux and the weather server itself.  After reviewing the instructions on the Meteohub website, I realize that it takes over the unit and dedicates it to just handling weather data, all the extraneous stuff, was cut out of it. And to prevent reverse engineering the software he's locked out the standard account accesses.

I checked the manual for meteohub (meteohub-v4.7en.pdf) in section 1.3 Internet access. Is it possible to do something from there? I don't really get what they mean. Or maybe use like http://www.noip.com/remote-access

I solved the problem.
I just port forward the port 7777 in my router to the meteohub internal ip-address.
To reach the GUI from internet I just use the WAN IP:7777.
