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'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 got a multisite network, and got subsites on it, unfortunately the main domain has expired, and I cannot access my WP admin. I don't worry about the main site but I need to have the subsite.
I am able to access the main site using the IP but not its WP admin. I tried following this but it didn't help. I saw a way via accessing database (this method) but I couldn't access database as its hosted in Digital Ocean, it's pretty hard without a control panel.
want a way to access main sites WP admin
access my subsite via URL (it has a separate domain which is being masked)
If your domain has expired, ordinary DNS will not work. This means that domain-based hosting on the web server will no longer operate as well.
However, you can easily trick your local machine into thinking the domain still exists. This will work on Linux and OS X. You'll need to know the IP address of your web server - if you do not have this, you'll have this in the welcome emails you've received from your web host, or perhaps by logging onto your customer control panel.
Edit your /etc/hosts/ file. In a blank link at the end, add this:
yourdomain.tld 1.2.3.4
where 1.2.3.4 is your IPv4 address. The gap between the two can be any number of spaces or tabs.
Once this file is saved, you should be able to ping it thus, in a console or terminal utility:
ping yourdomain.tld
and it will show you what IP address you have assigned it to.
You can then access it normally. Bear in mind, though, that only you have the DNS information, so it will not work on any other machine. It will however allow you to access your WordPress control panel.
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 asked a similar question before here I sort of fixed it but im still facing a similar issue. Every time I try to load localhost, port 8095, I receive this error message in Google Chrome:
Google Chrome's connection attempt to localhost was rejected. The
website may be down, or your network may not be properly configured.
If there is a way to fix it, please tell me,
If not, please could someone inform me how to reset IIS to its original settings. Or if I can reset Windows Features so I can re-install ISS from scratch.
My website uses ASP with a connection to a SQL Server database (2012). Basic HTML pages also don't load under the URL, localhost:8095/
The servers were stopped because 2 services within administrative tools had stopped. World Wide Web Publishing Service and Web Management Service
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?
