How To Port Forward My RPi IP ?
I have purchased domain, and changed nameservers to namecheap free ddns. 'Till now everything is cool, I have configured ddclient to automate the task of dynamic IP thingy.
Now, the big obstacle (for me) is Port forwarding. How to port forward my RPi IP ?
If I am going to publish blog, I guess local port should be 80 (I am not sure though). I will change the local IP to one of ArkOS. But what is Port Range and Source IP ? What to fill in Source IP & Port Range ?

Kaustubh KatdareI'm bit lost, what is it that you are actually trying to do? My best guess is that you're planning to host all your blog files on your machine and make them available on the Internet?
A little more explanation would certainly help. -

I have registered domain name.Kaustubh KatdareA little more explanation would certainly help.
I was looking for freeDNS and namecheap offers it to me, so I setup that too. Since, I am hosting from home, the IP ain't static. So, I have configured arkOS with ddclient which refreshes the database in namecheap everytime it changes, so I don't have to configure everysingle time.
Now comes part of port forwarding, in which I am so much confused. -
Kaustubh KatdareStrange. Why'd you want to do that? Why not simply map a free wordpress.com or tumblr to your new domain? I mean, there are no benefits of hosting stuff on your local machine for the Internet.
Or is there a specific use-case you have in mind? -

2) To understand and learn practically how things work.
3) I have couple of development boards lying at home, I shall use one for some purpose.
4) I might host chat server CE. -
