How to make it possible to access ESP8266 from Web? ESP8266 is connected to Cellphone hotspot network and is accessible in local devices connected to same cell phone. Are there any services for it? Or Does VPN help?

you can do with port forwarding.

1. you need a port forwarding app on your phone.
2. you need to ensure your phone network provider provides public ip on your phone
