title: Setting up Mosquitto on home server
body: <p>I'm struggling with exposing Mosquitto that I setup on my Centos7 homeserver to the outside internet through my router.</p>
  
  <p>Mosquitto runs fine on my localhost and post 1883 on the homeserver. I am able to pub/sub, and it is listening on the port as 127.0.0.1:1883 (tcp)</p>
  
  <p>My home router has a dynamic IP (for now), say 76.43.150.206. On the router I port forwarded 1883 as both internal/external ports to my home server, say 192.168.1.100.</p>
  
  <p>In the mosquitto.conf file, I have one simply line "listener 1883 76.43.150.206".</p>
  
  <p>When I then attempt to pub/sub using a python client on an external computer as mqttc.connect("76.43.150.206", 1883), it says connection refused.</p>
  
  <p>Any hints on what I'm doing wrong or how to get it working? BTW, my understanding of this setup is very basic and I've pretty much been going off blogs. </p>
