WCF service with TCP protocol to be accessed over internet

Question

Hi I am relatively new to WCF. I want to know if we can develop WCF service with TCP binding that will be accessed from internet (outside of local network). Also the WCF service should be a stand-alone service should not require IIS.

TCP binding is used only when the clients are from same network. If your clients are outside of your network you will have to use HTTP protocol like basicHttpBinding or wsHttpBinding. In real time application you have multiple service endpoints with different kind of bindings like for backoffice and stand alone application you use netTcpBinding and for internet application you use wsHttpBinding.
