The same way you do on a LAN.  You either specify the specifc IP, or else
you specify a static host name that the DNS system then resolves to a
specific IP address.

Or are you referring to the fact that your server is not even exposed to the
Internet at all, but you still have to connect to it from a client that is
running on the Ineternet?  If so, then that is a completely different issue
altogether.  You must have a router or proxy installed on your network that
is exposed to the Internet, and then the router/proxy makes a separate
connection to the target server, and then directs data traffic between the
two connections back and forth as needed.

You did not explain any of that earlier.
