FBA and Windows Authentication

Question

In SharePoint 2013, if a user is accessing a SharePoint site from outside the local network: When they get to the site and chose an authentication method, Windows or FBA, can they chose the Windows authentication and enter their normal domain login? If
the user is on the domain network, when they chose Windows authentication it sees who they are on their computer and lets them get to the site. I am trying to understand how it works for that user if they aren't on the domain network.

Hi kamikoz,
Per my knowledge, you need to configure FBA and allow external user to login into the application using the credentials that are given to them, you can refer to the blog:
Configuring SharePoint 2013 Forms-Based Authentication with SQLMemberShipProvider
