Using No-IP services for two network based QML apps

My QML apps, server and client works on the same machine similarly like fortune client/server example of QtWidgets but with some minor more features like being able for both to send and receive messages.
As I said, the apps works fine and it's possible to use them for message exchanging. The thing is that they only work on the same machine. I intend to extend their functionality in order to use them each running on a different machine in a different place for which a global Internet is required for the connection.
I was suggested to use No-IP services for that purpose, but it hasn't worked up to now! :(
I've got two questions:- Have your ever used No-IP services?
- Is it the choice or can I take advantages of another service?

@qcoderpro Are you talking about https://www.noip.com/ ?
If your app needs to communicate across different machines you need to use TCP/IP or UDP.
https://www.noip.com/ just gives you a way to register an IP for a domain. -

I didn't know there would be a way other than TCP/IP or UDP to establish communication through different apps even on the same machine! Yes, my apps make use of QTcpServer/QTcpSocket classes and a QDataStream for transactions. A copy of the apps may be sent to any couples to use them for messaging, just like typical social texting applications that people download and use on their devices.
