Accessing a web interface through the Internet

[DingTheKnight]

Hello I am trying to access a web interface from a device connected to my lan(IP:192.168.1.5). I have forwarded the port 24442 to the IP 192.168.1.5. I cannot access it from the internet. CanYouSeeMe is telling me that connection is refused.

Firewall?

[DingTheKnight]

Nope its disabled. Note that i access this device using the IP 198.168.1.5. The device does not list a port to which I can use so that might be the case. Normally servers have a port specified. So the device might not be listening

PC on same network can open whatever 192.168.1.5:24442 is hosting?

 

Disable WAN ping block on router and ping your Internet IP if it reply. Port scan 24442 after.

[DingTheKnight]

Yes. But it doesnt have a port. I just used 192.168.1.5 without specifying port when accessing locally

Using HTTP via web browser? It's port 80.

Port 80 is directing me to router page. Not my device

[rEaGeNeReary]

Explain how you are accessing 192.168.1.5 from another computer on the same lan. Program used, what url, etc.

[DingTheKnight]

I just type in 192.168.1.5 into the browser. Then the web interface comes up.

The IP of my router is 192.168.1.1 which is not what I want to access

The problem you're getting is 192.168.1.5 uses port 80, same with your router. When you have a computer on the Internet access your Internet IP using web browser, it uses port 80 by default, which your router uses. You need to make a port forwarding rule to translate <internet ip>:24442 to 192.168.5:80 or make 192.168.1.5 use different port and port forward it.

These two are binded on the same port, just make sure to make a port forwarding with another port than 80 and specify this port when you try to connect through the internet  ! Also is that a web interface that everyone should have access ? If not just make a VPN into your LAN, it's a lot safer  !

Thank you I'll try that.

I have forwarded the port 24442 now. But it shows up as connection refused on CanYouSeeMe

How would I go around doing this?

You make port forwarding rule that with different destination port and redirect target port and not just all 24442 redirect to 24442 like:

Destination port: 24442

Redirect target port: 80

 

or

 

Edit web service on 192.168.1.5 to use different listening port.
