Most modern routers support a DMZ.

EDIT: Sorry, wasn't what you were after.

I was wondering if anyone is able to really access the esp board from web online. I am sure you will have to do some port forwarding on the device but since i am such a Noob you have to hand hold me through the process.

You should perhaps watch this for more information, that pretty much explains how it works with lua.

also, you need to have a public ip provided by your isp so your router will be publicly accessible
