How to control Kodi over internet? - and7ey - 2019-11-04

I know there is HTTP API/RPC to control Kodi. I understand I could use services like Dyndns and make port forwarding on my router to b able to control my local Kodi over internet.
But is there any better solution?
For ex., can I write some Kodi add on to open socket connection with my server and read control commands from this server?

Hi! Did you find a solution over socket connection? I want the same solution without Dyndns

Unfortunately, no.
