I am having a problem in accessing ports with my Pi. I am using dataplicity to access it online.
I can access my page with this URL.
https://my_id.dataplicity.io
Can't access when I use this
https://my_id.dataplicity.io:9090/
But I can access it in my local.
http://localhost:9090/
What could possibly be the problem here?
Thanks!
At the present time wormhole forwards HTTP traffic to port 80 on your device but forwarding to other ports is not something that can be achieved by default.
The port forwarding feature is coming as part of our PRO pricing plan in future.
As an interim workaround, it is possible to redirect port 80 on your Pi to another local port on your Pi using a reverse proxy (for example using nginx). Although wormhole itself will still communicate with port 80 on your device, nginx could listen on port 80 and forward this to another local port of your choosing. Here's a nice article that could get you started:

I need help port forwarding my webserver from my local ip to external ip.
I have already tried setting up rules in my router for port 8080 (this is the current port for local ip as well (http://localhost:8080)) (Image Attached)
I am using Huawei Router: HG8145V5
I cannot access the webpage from my external ip it shows site cant be reached took too long to respond.
I'm sure its something wrong or extra needed with the port forwarding but cannot find out why.
The webpage is running on apache2.
Port Forward Rules
Webpage Running on 192.168.1.13:8080
I just found out i needed to unable dmz in forwarding rules to enable networking port forwards.
I am trying to access my local [WAMP] webserver from any remote devide. I am so far able to access it from a device inside the LAN, but fail to do so from outside it. As far as i know, port forwarding is how we achieve this. But currently unable to do that correctly.
Present error when trying to connect :
Some of the articles which i have followed so far are:
general-port-forwarding-guide
how-can-i-access-my-server-from-outside-of-my-lan
how-to-expose-a-local-development-server-to-the-internet
The main steps which i follow are as follows:
Make sure server is accessible inside LAN.
Open router's port forwarding settings and port forward the set static ip address (in step 1). Set port 80 and 8080 for communicating.
Access the server via my public ip (can check public ip and if forwarded port is accessible from here)
This is a temporary solution for testing purposes only with 8 hour server connection duration time limit (and a limited no. of server connections):

I am attempting to set up an apache2 web server on my raspberry pi. I am able to connect to it by doing http://localhost:8080 (8080 because my router blocks port 80). Although when I do http://my.pub.lic.ip:8080 the connection times out. I set up port forwarding so that requests going to my router on port 8080 go to my raspberry pi on port 8080. This does not seem to work but I'm also not sure if the port forwarding is the cause or if it is something else. Any suggestions?
Is your web server configured to listen on the network interface besides localhost?
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/bind.html
For example, to make the server accept connections on both port 80 and port 8000, on all interfaces, use:
Listen 80
Listen 8000
To make the server accept connections on port 80 for one interface, and port 8000 on another, use
Listen 192.0.2.1:80
Listen 192.0.2.5:8000
You can try using nmap by finding your router's public IP and on the raspberry pi type nmap my.pub.lic.ip This will show you what services are actually being published to the world. This gives more insight to the problem.
I got the web server up and running although for some reason it appears that my isp would only allow it to be hosted securely (as an https page)(I'm not sure if that's the right way to phrase it). To achieve this for free, I used cloudflare's ssl service. A tutorial to set it up for apache2 can be found here
Is it possible to use port 80 for non http traffic ? For example I'm making a small script that will communicate with a friends computer through the internet, however they must port forward it to get past the router. Is there a problem with using port 80 in the script so it will be let through automatically ? Is there some part of this i don't understand that will not let non http data through ? Please explain :)
there is no problem doing that. in fact, skype's default behaviour is to use port 80 and port 443 to transport voice!
There are a lot of ISPs that actually block port 80, so you might want to try a different port if you are having a problem (still needs to be forwarded)
The firewall on the computer also needs to be set to allow the incoming traffic.
This will work fine, but your friend may still need to setup port forwarding
If your friend's PC is the one listening on Port 80, he will need to setup port forwarding. Otherwise, how would the router/NAT know which computer in the house to bridge the connection to?
But if your friend's PC is the one making the outbound connection, then likely no port forwarding is needed at all on his end.
In other words, port forwarding (for TCP) is only for inbound connections. The router/NAT will automatically setup a port mapping scheme for outbound connections (as it does it with all web traffic).
I have a web server running out of my home. I have assigned it an address such as 192.168.1.123 on port 80.
I understand that this is running on my local network. If I go to another computer on my network and type in the server's ip address, I can see the server.
Is there a way to access this server from outside my LAN?
Yes, you need to set your router to forward connections to port 80 to your internal IP address (192.168.1.123). Look for Port Forwarding on your router admin screen which I would imagine you access by going to http://192.168.1.1
Keep in mind that your ISP may block port 80 completely in which case you can run your web server on a different port (for example por 8180) and have your router forward connections to port 8180 to your internal IP.
To access your server from outside, you just need to point your browser to your external IP address which you can find out by going to http://www.ipchicken.com
Assuming you have a connection to the internet:
https://github.com/progrium/localtunnel
is a quick way to access your local server from the internet. There might be similar implementations in other languages/platforms. This is just the one I know about.
Remember that security issues need to be carefully considered when opening your local network to the world.
If you use a PHP Webserver you can set it this way:
php -S <YourIPAdresse>:<SomePortNumber> <StartPHPpage>
Example: „php -S 192.168.1.123:9000 index.php"
