I have created an HTML page on my PC and I need to run it in my mobile for testing. I have deployed it in TOMCAT and I run it using http://IP ADDRESS (192.something.something.something):port/index.html
I can't access it outside my home network. I want to know do I need to add something to make it run outside my home network on other mobile phones..? I am confused.. Everything is new for me. Will appreciate any help. Thanks
You may need to check the config settings from your internet service provider to make sure that the Port is open and you are not blocking outside connections via the port or IP address.
Go to your browser and type in your IP address, this should take you to your router settings and check the settings there.
Good luck!

I have an R script that uses Plotly Dash to create a web page. I am running the script on a VM instance in GCP which is a Ubuntu server without GUI. When the script is executed, it says,
start 127.0.0.1:8050
My question is how to access this web page on a browser from anywhere. Since the VM doesnt have a gui/browser I cannot even test my web page..
Anyone could explain what I am missing here or any way to deploy my web page and access from anywhere?
I am unsure how your application works, but that ending line shows that the server is running on localhost and on which port is it serving. So you may want to access from an external browser with the instance's ip address: like http:// xx.xxx.xx.xx:8050 and let's see if it works. Otherwise you may need to set up a Remote Desktop Setup through Chrome to enable a GUI interface on the VM.
Also remember to make sure that traffic is allowed on that port 8050 checking /creating the firewall rules
I encountered the same problem. You need to change the IP address on which the dash server is running to the internal IP address of your gcp VM instance. It usually starts with 10.xxx.x.x. You can find this internal address in the 'IP address' tab in the VPC networks section on the google cloud console. So do this:
app.run_server(host='10.xxx.x.x', port='8050')
Open a browser and browse to http://externalip:8050. Make sure you have your firewall rules set up correctly.
You should now be able to see the dash app.
I have an app that I'm testing on localhost via ng serve, and want to test the app offline.
I know in dev tools I can disable network access, however, this also prevents the files being served from localhost.
Currently, the only way I have found to test the app offline whilst still serving the files from localhost is simply to enable flight mode on my own computer, however, is there another way to achieve this?

I think you are on the right path, but definitely there are alternatives to achieve the same results. The other possible ways I can think of:
Changing Internet Proxy Settings to point to a non-existent server, will block all your outgoing traffic but localhost.
Block outgoing traffic with Firewall.
I'm trying to make my first basic web server to host a wordpress website using a Raspberry pi 3, nginx, php7.0, mysql and phpmyadmin.
I have set everything all right, I can access the wordpress site and edit it when I'm connected to my router, but once I try to access it from outside using my phone network, it loads but it shows no images and the website looks totally disorganized.
I'm using no-ip to get a static IP, I have set the router DMZ on the Pi and it's connected through WiFi, so there should be no firewall between the Pi and my phone.
I really don't get why this is happening, it looks like something is blocking some parts of the info exchange, could this be my ISP and the solution would be to change the website port from 80 to another one? I'm starting to discard this option because when I access from outside to the phpmyadmin management site, it loads correctly, including all images.
As I said this is my first experience and I don't know what else to look, I would really appreciate help from more experienced users.
WordPress uses two configuration variables to determine the address of the site and the address of resources for the site. See changing the site URL for details.
You currently have these values set to an internal address that cannot be resolved to your static IP.
If you set the values to your external address (used by your phone network to access the website), the external access should begin to work, e.g. http://example.ddns.net/. However, a negative side-effect is that internal access may stop working!
You should be able to make both internal and external access work, by removing the scheme and hostname from the values, and setting only the path component, e.g. /.
I am having trouble following the only tutorial I could find on the certain type of port forwarding I think I need. The website I need to bring up isn't available for a direct access from outside networks. I need to know how to get into a computer that is accessible from the outside and then get into the one that is only available in the network that is external to mine. Any ideas on how I can use my browser to access those websites that are in the external network?
Thanks!
If you have a ping to your web site, check that your site is open for connection from outside networks and nothing blocking port 80.
I have a website running on a NAS server and I also have a ip camera on my network. I can configure port forwarding on my router to forward http requests to either my nas website (192.168.1.64) or ip camera (192.168.1.200) from the internet. I have configured both independently and was able to access from internet. However, I only have one IP address so I have configured port forwarding on my router to forward http requests ( port 80) to the web site on my NAS where I have provided a hyperlink on the default html page to the IP camera (href=http://192.168.1.200/....html). From home the link works because the internet browser is running on a computer on my network. But browsing from a computer ouside of my router ( the internet) the link does not work. The browser is attempting to communicate with ip address 192.168.1.200 which do not exist on the internet. How can I link to the ip camera website from a html page on my NAS website behind the router. I hope I have explained this in enough detail for you to understand.
You can't, plain and simple. This is because you can never get your browser to connect the device that does not have the port forward directly, therefore you can never load a page directly from that device to your browser, however you try and work it.
When I refer to "the other device" in this is answer, I am referring to whichever one does NOT have the port opened through the router to it.
Setting aside the security problems you are creating by doing this that frankly, horrify me, you have two options:
Set up a port redirect on your router to the other device, so that a different public port is redirected to port 80 internally. This would mean you could access both devices directly across the internet. Not all routers support this (albeit fairly basic) functionality.
Set up some form of proxy script that will fetch the page from the other device and display it on a page (in an iframe maybe?) on the device that does have a port forward. This will probably require a third web server inside your network, since it is unlikely either the NAS or the camera will support any form of scripting language.
I do not recommend either of these options, but that is what you are left with.
You are creating a huge hole in your network security by doing this. Only do it if you 100% trust the fact the neither device could under any circumstances be hacked into. Are you that confident in some software you didn't write - or even some you did?
