Hello guys,

I'm new with esp but I read some materials so I know my way around:).

My question is how can I access my esp 12 from anywhere via internet.

To clarify I will connect my esp to my home router. On my esp I have a temperature sensor connected. I want to access from my Android phone browser the ESP and display the temperature. Note that I want to do this from any place, not being forced to connect my phone to my home router via wireless.
Thanks in advance !

Very easy, just forward port on your router to ESP address in your home network.
I will let others explain the drawback to this.
Other solutions include VPN and SSH tunnelling, but they are more trouble to set up.

Set up a server 'X.com' somewhere on the Internet
Use ESP8266 to push temperature to X.com at regular intervals
Use Android or any browser to read temperature from X.com

You can read directly from ESP ( but you need a public IP address)
or
You can use thingspeak.com - eg. https://thingspeak.com/channels/26576#publicview

and next read it via android.apk
