I am trying to do port forwarding by using my JioFi modem .
After setting up all configurations , I am getting port closed when I use online website to check the port status.
I am not able to find out the problem . I have tried disabling the firewall too .
Below is detailed steps I did to port forward (I am mentioning it because their may be few things I may have missed while setting up things ...)..
(My System in Ubuntu 14.04) ..
1) Logged in to router home page . (My JioFi's web UI)
2)Went to port forwarding menu and set the Local port and WAN port as 12345 ans saved the settings .
3)Started a simple server at 12345 .
4) Used http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ website to check the port but it showed port closed ...
Please help . A detailed stepwise answer would be really helpful .
I used following website to learn about port forwarding :- https://www.howtogeek.com/66214/how-to-forward-ports-on-your-router/
What is the wan IP your router get? If the wan IP is in private range https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network, port forwarding at the router will not help because port forwarding has to be done at ISP as first NAT happens there. If your router has public wan IP then port forwarding should work. In the case of private IP use third party tunneling service like ngrok to access your site publicly

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 have recently brought a static ip address from my isp and i have a old computer to which i want to make my website live on internet i have read couple of forums and done research from it and nowhere i am to follow that.
I have a D-link modem and linksys router wrtg54 my isp have set up the static ip on d-link modem now i am confused what to do with the static ip as per my research many static ip are written on networks ip address,subnet,gateway and dns. I dont know how to set this up.
I had setup a static ip on my server computer which is 192.168.192.103 now i dont know what to do.Just for your refrence my Linksys router is configured on DHCP network.
I would really appreciate if someone can guide me or help me with a name who can setup this network thing so i can find the help for this problem.
Just to clarify, having a static IP does not resolve all the points for setting up a website, open to the public.
Consider the following points:
Do you have a webserver running on your computer?
(see www[.]apachefriends.org/de/index.html for windows or help[.]ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/httpd.html for Ubuntu)
Does your ISP allow access on port 80?
(this would change to 443 if you use https)
Set the port forwarding on your router to the local machine
(http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT54G/HTTP.htm for more info)
Get a domain (www.example.com) for your website
(If you registered already a domain, you have to change the target IP to your fixed IP which you received from your ISP)
Try to work this through and don't stop asking!
Please, advice on how to set the public IP address/domain name for a web page to be forwarded to a specific server machine on a subnet (say, 192.168.1.77). Can this be done via Mikrotik GUI interface?
An outside IP or assigned domain do not do this automatically, Mikrotik doesn't pick up the server behind a subnet if one does not set the path to it. I've seen a couple of tutorials assigning a server IP address in Mikrotik terminal with "masquerade" command but wonder if this can be done via Mikrotik Webfig GUI.
You need 2 things:
dst-nat to WEBserver
Default route on WEBserver set to Mikroitk
/ip firewall nat add chain=dstnat dst-address=PUBL.IC.I.P dst-port=80 or 443 action=dst-nat to-addresses=192.168.1.77
You must disbale /ip service www and www-ssl for using port 80 or 443
If Mikrotik isn't default route to internet for WEBserver say to me and I will explain how to do
For testing if it's working, you must test by other connectiont outside your LAN ( maybe smartphone without wifi)
I am having problems connecting to my website from a source outside my local network. I had another server before running the same site. The only difference is the old one was FreeBSD and now I'm trying it on Linux.
Here is my setup: I'm using Apache2. The server is behind a Netgear router. I'm using a Freedns host name. I have ddclient updating my ip.
Here is what happens: I can look at my site from the server in Chrome or my phone connected to the local wifi. It works using either the host name or ip address. It does not load from my cell phone or from my desktop using a proxy for either the host name or the ip address (the external one from googling my ip and from the router's wan info page). When I try the proxy with the host name I get "conection timed out" error, and when I try the ip address I get "couldn't connect to host error".
Here is what I've tried: I enabled port forwarding to the server from and to port 80 to my lan ip address. I disabled the firewall on the server. I double checked that the host name is directed to the right ip address. I ensured that the ip address does indeed point to my router. I've watched wireshark on my server while trying to connect and don't see any incoming requests when I try to load it from my phone.
It seems like maybe my port forwarding isn't working, but on my router it says that that port forwarding rule is active.
I'm out of ideas as to why what else could be going wrong.
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"
