3
Enable “Protect by Home Center” on Remote Devices
Open HomiPlay on your phone or laptop, select your home device as the Home Center, and enable “Protect by Home Center.” Once enabled, your remote device's Internet traffic is routed through your Home Center and then connected to the Internet through your home network.

Your remote device connects back to Home Center through HomiPlay's encrypted connection, then reaches the Internet through your home network. This lets the remote device use the same network exit and public IP address as devices at home.
