I am using openwrt and coovachilli for registration purpose, when there is presence of internet connection to router then chilli starts and popup page appears after connect to WiFi.
But I want popup page without presence of internet. Router should popup after connect to WiFi using coovachilli without internet. Please help me out in this situation.
Thanks in advance.
OpenWrt Version:- 15.05
CoovaChilli Version:- 1.3.0
It's not possible technically due to the way Coova Chilli (and other hotspot software systems) works.
Without Internet connection, your DNS server will return failures so no DNS query will work. Without DNS queries (and IP addresses as result), there won't be a HTTP request for Coova to hijack. Your device (eg. iPhone) won't even trigger a CNA window
There are possibilities (workarounds) of course - eg. make your DNS resolver (dnsmasq?) resolve to some dummy/hardcoded IP address while the connection is down. You would have to write a script yourself that detects connection and swaps configs
It is possible with a workaround.
You have to use a local UAM server (on the same host or LAN) and authenticate with local users file or local RADIUS server. For using local users file, without RADIUS server, you must specify a dummy RADIUS server IP:
radiusserver1 127.0.0.1
localusers /etc/chilli/localusers
Then, you can add a dummyuser:dummypass to your localusers file and use it for the authentication as usual:
http://${uam_ip}:${uam_port}/logon?username=dummyuser&password=${chap_password}
I created a Google dataproc cluster. After logging into master node I started spark-shell then trying to access spark history page using
http://<external_ip_masternode>:4040
It get redirected to
http://<hostname_mastername>:8088/proxy/application_1487485713573_0002/
Browser is rejecting with error "DNS address could not be found." which is understandable.
Following are VM instance setting
Public IP type Ephermal
tcp:4040 opened in firewall
ip forwarding Off: Unable to edit this configuration
Following troubleshooting done but did not help
Telnet to :4040 -> Working
Access from Ubantu host/ browser Chrome: Getting redirected and name lookup failure
Access from Ubantu host /browser Firefox: Getting redirected and name lookup failure
Access from Mac OSX host /browser Safari : Getting redirected and name lookup failure
Access from Mac OSX host/ browser chrome : Getting redirected and name lookup failure
To view Hadoop web interfaces in Dataproc, it is recommended to follow the instructions for running an SSH-based SOCKS proxy: https://cloud.google.com/dataproc/docs/concepts/cluster-web-interfaces
If you follow the instructions there, it'll also have you run a separate browser session using your SSH tunnel, and sets hostname resolution to occur on the VM side of the tunnel. That way, all the links in the Hadoop pages will automatically work, since they all reference each other using internal hostnames, and intentionally avoid any dependency on "external IP addresses".
Using the SSH tunnel is also much more secure than opening up firewall rules to visit the unencrypted HTTP traffic directly coming from the Hadoop HTTP servers (if you accidentally open up your firewall rules too broadly, then other people on the internet will be able to access your external IP addresses, and even if you don't, attackers could see your unencrypted web traffic served up by the ApplicationMaster, HistoryServer, etc.).
I have configured jetty-maven-plugin in my eclipse Mars and I can run the server using jetty start and stop goals. I can able to access the website using http://localhost:8080/myapp but not using local IP address(i.e., http://192.168.0.5:8080/myapp) from my own computer or other computers connected in the same network via LAN and Wi-Fi.
As mentioned as a solution in these posts,
how to make jetty server accessible from LAN?
Configuring Jetty to accept connections from all hosts
I configured the server host to 0.0.0.0 from localhost to listen on all hosts. With this setting I can see on server start log,
INFO:oejs.AbstractConnector:Started SelectChannelConnector#0.0.0.0:8080
and it works only on http://localhost:8080 but it's not accessible from http://192.168.0.5:8080.
I also tried running that if the interface is accessible using the Networks Interface Listing as mentioned in this comment. and I got,
Display name: NETGEAR WNA1000M N150 Wireless USB Micro Adapter
Name: wlan4
InetAddress: /192.168.0.5
I also tried turning off my Windows Firewall/antivirus but din't help. My jetty version is <jetty.version>9.3.0.M1</jetty.version> and JDK 1.7. What could be the problem? Any help is appreciated.
McAfee Endpoint Security was the culprit here. It was blocking the requests with IP addresses from my very own computer. Turned off the firewall inside the Antivirus and I was able to access the site with http://192.168.0.5:8080/mysite from the browser and other devices connected through the network.
Sometimes some other program opens your port on external address before you do that with Jetty. It will receive all traffic instead. On Windows you will not know it if you reuse port (that is Jetty's default behavior). Check with netstat -ano what is the IP of the process that is indeed listening on 0.0.0.0:8080. Verify if it is your Jetty process only.
Then try connecting with telnet or netcat and see if you can open the connection and what is the response.
I'm trying to deploy my camel app which on start is creating a cxfrs endpoint. The url is like this: http://localhost:9876 . When I try to hit this one on a rest client or anywhere within my machine it works. But when I try to access it using my phone or other external devices, I'm not able to connect.
Am I missing something?
TIA
Using localhost will mean it is only accessible to your local machine, using 0.0.0.0 instead should make it publicly accessible.
0.0.0.0 should bind all available network interface on your remote machine, but from your description, somehow it only bind to localhost|127.0.0.1 so only accessible from local machine, could you use
http://external.ip.address:9876/foo/FooService
instead to see if it helps?
Also, you can try to access other network service(for example start a tomcat on remote machine and see if you can access it from your local machine) from that remote machine to see if it works, this can determine if your DNS correct or if there's really no firewall between them.
I implemented a web service for an Android application. The web service is running on my local host (192.168.1.2). Using the Android emulator I succeeded to connect to web service. The I tried to connect my Android device using debugging mode to web service but it didn't work. So my question is if it is possible to connect an Android device to this web service that is running on my local host (192.168.1.2) without using a real IP ?
It's much simpler way supported by google!
Connect your phone via usb to computer and enable usb debugging
On your computer open Chrome browser and type exactly this address: chrome://inspect/#devices
Now you can link your computer port to your device port by port forwarding button. On my computer I have service on address localhost:61437 and I just linked it to device's 8081 port. Remeber to check 'Enable port forwarding' checkbox
screen from service on my computer ( localhost:61437 )
screen from my mobile browser with the same service ( localhost:8081). And that's it. Also you use this service address in your application
Did you already solve your problem? I also got a problem like you. These are the steps that I already done:
unplug lan cable or turn off any other internet connection from your pc.
connect your android mobile to your pc using usb.
turn on usb tethering
back to your pc. check your ip. mine is 192.168.42.37
check your webservice app in your pc. let's say http://192.168.42.37/webserviceapp
back to your android mobile. try this url http://192.168.42.37/webserviceapp
Now you can access your webservice app in your pc from your mobile phone.
Well your localhost is 127.0.0.1 (or ::1) and your LAN IP is 192.168.1.2. Each pc/device that are connected under your LAN could reach your webservice on IP 192.168.1.2
Your Android device must be so connected under the same LAN maybe through Wifi connection so it will be able to talk with 192.168.1.2.
If you can't connect your Android device under the same LAN eg you have just a 3g connection you need to play with your router/firewall to redirect all incoming traffic (maybe just the http traffic) from your public ip to you private ip (192.168.1.2)
Hope this help
I'll throw in my process, since nothing on SO worked for me. Here are the steps I took to connect my physical android device to the web service running on my laptop (connected to the phone) on localhost:
Enable USB debugging on your Android device
Run your web service on your machine. My web service runs on localhost, port 3000 in development: http://localhost:3000/api/...
Run ifconfig (Unix), or ipconfig (Windows)
Find your machine's inet address on your LAN interface. Mine is 10.0.0.121 for interface wlan0. Externally, it is 68.43.XX.XXX, which is not the address that you want to use.
Use the LAN IP since you are connecting to your service on LAN, otherwise you might get an econnrefused (connection refused) error due to firewall rules
Build your http URL with that IP address, and the port that your web service is running on. For me, it's http://10.0.0.121:3000/api/...
When you launch your app, you should connections to your local web service in logs, Wireshark, etc, and you should see the desired activity/data in your Android application.
I had the same issues, researched a lot then found out that you have to explicitly make changes in your firewall settings. Your firewall is blocking your code to be accessed from external source. So, all you need to do is, go to firewall settings, add port 80 (in my case since, I am using Apache http Server) for inbound and outbound. Now, you can test it on your phone's browser http://192.16..**:80/
I've done that on a Mac using GasMask and Charles Proxy Server. Your phone and your computer have to be on the same network.
say the webservice url you want to access is at http://api.xyz.com, you first use GasMask to point that url to your localhost, then use Charles to set up a proxy server. Then you go to the settings on your phone, go into Wi-Fi, long-press the network you are connected to, choose Modify Network, and enter the proxy settings Charles gave you.
In my case, nothing of these solutions works because Windows firewall blocks it, but putting a rule on the firewall hasn't effect.
The problem in my case is that my laptop is connected with Wifi and Windows had the Wifi connection like a Public network. I must to change the network connection to Private network. http://www.comofuncionatodo.net/tecnologia/informatica/como-cambiar-de-red-publica-a-red-privada-en-windows-10/
I agree with the other answers as good approaches if you don't want to expose your DEV webservice on the internet. However, it's much easier if you do just expose the webservice. There's a number of free DNS services, but I've found no-ip to be the easiest to set up. I use it for exactly the purpose that you asked about; so I can test with my DEV webservice on a real device.
If you choose to go with no-ip (I have no affiliation with that company, it's just the one I've used and am familiar with), you can get a free publicly accessible URL like http://MyExampleWebServer.no-ip-org, and no-ip has a utility you can install so even if you're behind a dynamic IP, it will always keep the correct external IP associated with that URL. If you're working from your house, then you'd just need to make sure you port forward traffic from port 80 to your internal 192.x.x.x IP address (or whatever port you use; maybe 443 for ssl).
It's as easy as that, and now you can hit that webservice from any device that can access the internet.
I haven't worked with it, but I believe dyndns also offers a similar service.
This solution is for GAE development server in Eclipse
Step 1: Get the LAN IP
Goto your Windows Command Console (Press Win+R, then type "cmd"). In the console, enter "ipconfig". You will see a list of display. Under Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi, get the IPv4 Address. It will be something 192.168.x.x
LAN IP : 192.168.x.x
Step 2:
Go to Eclipse, Open the Configured server
Under Properties of GAE Development Server -> Local Interface address to bind to, enter the LAN IP address, and save.
Step 3:
Now you can access the GAE server by
http://192.168.x.x:8888/
8888 - Refers to the Port Number, as mentioned in the GAE development server
In order to access local web services using their own server hosts rather than IP addresses with ports, do these following steps:
Make sure your Android device and your local machine are on the same network.
Install SquidMan on your Mac, Linux, or any other Proxy Server.
Configure the proxy server's HTTPPort (ex. 5555) and clients (ex. 192.168.0.0/24) to your own network mask, and run the proxy server.
You are either using the web services in:
a. A web browser: Configure the proxy settings of your Android device from Modify WiFi networks.
b. Android application:
Set up the Proxy for your HTTP client. If you are using Volley, check this out: Volley Behind a Proxy server.
You can now connect to it by using whatever URL you are using on your host to connect to the web service (ex. http://my-local-machine.com)
Hint: If you got 4xx response codes, make sure your web service allows connections from other non-local-hosts.
If you are referring your localhost on your system from the Android emulator then you have to use
http://10.0.2.2:8080/
Because Android emulator runs inside a Virtual Machine(QEMU) therefore here 127.0.0.1 or localhost will be emulator's own loopback address.
