Are you sure that you have working name resolution for servername when not at home? For remote access to work you will at least require:

• Public IP number of your server, any RFC1918 numbers such as 192.168.X.X won't be accessible from the outside.
• Name resolution; either through a officially registered DNS name or through a host file.
• If there is a firewall in your router it must allow https (TCP/443) traffic.
• If your server is on a private network and you want to access it through your router's official IP you will need port forwarding.
