Outputting to a remote ArtNet controller

Hi all, I'm attempting to control an always-on architectural lighting installation from a remote location over the internet. The intention was to create a port forward in the on-site gateway (which has a static IP) that my Colordreamer Titan A8 is connected to, then setup the output IP in QLC+ as (static IP):3051, 3051 being the chosen forwarded port. But it seems that QLC+ doesn't allow anything to be appended to an IP address in the output field - when I attempt to confirm the changes, I get an "invalid IP" error message. Am I missing something? Is there some way around this, or some other not overly-complicated was of achieving my target configuration?

Bump
Any reply would be appreciated, even if it's just to tell me that it can't be done.

The ArtNet port is hardcoded in the code
here.
The specifications says it:

Change it and rebuild QLC+.

Thanks mcallegari! You've breathed life back into a project that I thought was dead.
I'm not familiar with the process of rebuilding though. Is that similar to compiling? In Linux?

Rebuild = compile again (with your changes)
How to build on linux:

Much appreciated! I'll try this when I'm able to return to that project in a couple of weeks and share my results.
