Hey Colin,
my home PC is just ISP dynamic, no fancy fixed IP here
the link is all managed by both ends connecting to a teamviewer web site service and the initial handshake happens there.
I even have teamviewer on my Raspberry PI 3 and use that from work too for when I need to test the outside interfaces at work ( IT systems Admin at a large school ). The PC at work is ONLY setup for outbound connections, where as home is setup for only inbound so I can maintain a level of isolation between work and home functions (so my boss is happy).
As I mentioned in the orig post, have teamviewer on my Android phone too and can control from there in a pinch.
I do have a dynamic DNS name for my outside interface but it plays no part in the teamviewer setup.. I used that for a pair of RemoteRig boxes I was trying to use from a hill top (on hold because of RSI at the hill top site)
