Rick,
In your browser try the following and see what you get:
http://Your_Wan_ip
If you get the Obi unit web page then it can be reached over the internet.
I'm not sure if that is a valid test. The reason I say that is I think some routers know the WAN address and never go out to the internet and back in.
For example, I have disabled the 202 from being access over the internet, yet can use my WAN address from my PC to access the web interface.

I use an online proxy to test visibility from outside my network. Replace"type.your.ip.here" with your wan ip address. Leave :80 as that means port 80 or substitute it for the port your are looking at. This only works if the device returns a web page.

Rick:
I tried the online proxy suggested by giqcass, replacing "type.your.ip.here:80" with the ip I find when I query "what's my ip", with :80 after it.
I believe that this is the IP address of my cable modem, which gives it to my router, which is how my entire home network (not any one PC) is represented to the outside world.
I got the following message back:
request to url [http://xx.xx.xxx.xx:80] fail, reason - couldn't connect to host
Again, I believe that a scan using Shields Up at www.grc.com, which reveals that I'm "Stealth" on everything, shows that nothing can get it because nothing can be found. However, I'm not a network expert, so please show me where I'm not understanding.
Felix:
Rick,
I am with you - if shields up reports stealth, you are hidden. QBZappy has OBi100 - so the only way to even reach it is if router firewall forwards some port to OBi. If that is the case - you won't get stealth from shields up.
Ostracus:
Indeed, and les anyone forget, if one has a feature/smart phone with a browser, one can check that way.
