[SOLVED] Can't access my home server from the outside

Hi all,
I have installed Arch on a Raspberry Pi and am trying to set up a home server. Right now, I am running a simple HTTP server (using node.js, if that matters) on port 8080. From my LAN, I can access the server all right.
From the outside, it seems that the traffic does actually reach the computer (I conclude this from the blinking diode indicating network traffic). However, all requests time out. Interestingly, if I kill the server while a request is pending, the timeout occurs right away.
I have no idea what is causing this. I have checked for iptables rules, but there seem to be none. What is blocking the traffic and how can I find out?
EDIT: Nevermind, I was testing incorrectly -- the traffic did reach the Raspberry Pi, but the return traffic did not reach my test computer because it was blocked by the router's firewall. Testing from TOR works just fine.

I too am having problems accessing Directory server from Netscape Console installed on Winxp.
If I try to open Directory server it doesn't give any error. No windows nothing.
If I try th same from the machine on which it is installed everything is fine. What is strange is that it did open a couple of times. But at the same time I can open the admin server, Netscape Messaging server from the xp box. Searching all over for a solution. Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Config details:
iDS4.13, iMS 5.0, running on Sol 8 box
Netscape Console 4.2 on WinXP.
Thanks

  • I can't access my university VPN with my iPad or iPhone but I can access it with my Mac. I was wondering if there is a simple way so that I can remotely access my home computer from the iPad, turn on the Mac VPN and then access the school network?

    The iosx and open VPN app on the iPad/phone aren't compatible w my school's VPN, but my Mac is via tunnelblick. I would really like to have VPN access from my tablet so I can access journals without undergoing a tedious process.
    Has anyone encountered this and found a remedy? I'm imagining an app from the tablet that can access the Mac at home to turn on the VPN to the school and then have access.. But then I'm thinking id be reading through 2 screens then formatting/resolution could be a problem.
    Another thought was setting up a VPN at home so that my iPad can connect to my computer at home via VPN which would then allow me easy access to journals. But I'm lacking experience in this, especially a security issue as I'm going from point A to point C to get back to point B.
    I'm open to any suggestions.
    Thanks

    You should be able to use the OpenVPN Connect app running on your iPad to connect your iPad to the VPN directly. It is an official OpenVPN client for iOS devices.
    In what way is it "not compatible"? Have you tried it? Tunnelblick is an OpenVPN client, so your school's VPN is using the OpenVPN protocol. That means any OpenVPN client should be able to access it. (It is possible, but unlikely, that your school uses encryption that is not available on the iPad, but that would be very unusual.)
    Otherwise, a remote control app on your iPad would let you control your Mac at home. "Back to My Mac", for example, would allow you to control your Mac remotely. The tricky part of this is that usually a VPN is set up to send all Internet traffic via the VPN server, and I'm not sure how that would work with "Back to My Mac".

  • Can i access a mac server from the internet?

    I am lookin to set up a mac os server usinng a mac mini because I am a mechanical engineering student and I want to be sure I can be able to get the files I need when I need them, because I own 2 macbook pros already and I am afraid of grabbing the wrong one on accident or something that might keep me from making a presentation, or working on a project, so I was wondering if there was a way I could access the server via the internet or something? I have been trying to do research into it before I put out all the money for it, and have not came out with any clear answers on this.

    The answer is obviously yes.  You just need to determine the method of connection and the persistence of access.  First, if you are hosting on a residential line, you will like have a dynamically assigned IP address.  So to make sure you can connect to it, look into DynamicDNS service.
    Next, on a residential ISP, you may not be able to use HTTP/HTTPS as the ISP will deny this traffic.  That leaves out WebDAV. 
    Your best and safest method (although with the MSCHAP-v2 crack this is up for debate) is to probably configure VPN and then connect via that method.  However, some environments may deny this type of outgoing traffic. 
    But regardless of the protocol you use, you simply need to allow port forwarding on your firewall to allow that traffic inbound.

  • I can't access my purchased apps from the App Store

    I can't access my purchased apps from the App Store. I tap purchased and it says loading after a while App Store closes.

    1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
    2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo.
    3. Try App Store again

    Why don't you talk to apple and find out if backup exists? That conversation with apple will stop your guessing.

    Is there any configuration that I missed?
    Thanks for helping me..

    The best way around firewalls is to stream using port 80. This is a preference setting in QuickTime Streaming Server and QuickTime Broadcaster. This will allow the stream to pass through the hole in the firewall usually used for HTML (web page) traffic. HOWEVER, you cannot use this port if you are also running web server services (Apache) on the same computer/server since they need to use port 80 also. If you need to host a web site AND stream QuickTime using port 80, you will need two computers (or at least two IP addresses; one for each service which is a little tricky. If both services are trying to use port 80, weird things will happen, most often the HTML data will rule and the streams won't work. This has been my experience. Good luck!

  • How can I access a shared calendar from the web ?

    Hi !
    I use OSX SL, iCal 4.0.4, MobileMe.
    When I share an ical calendar, I can not access it from the web. I can share it with other ical users, but can not find the correct url to access it from Safari. I have been searching the net and find suggestions, but all of them is about using the url stated in the share-dialog. When I share a calendar, there is no url for web access.
    Hope someone can help.
    Sveino

    There is a method for publishing a MobileMe calendar to a web page (as can still be done with an 'On My Mac' calendar, though of course that won't sync to other devices).
    The method is almost a hack, and depends on what appears to be a bug in iCal, so there is no guarantee that it will work, or continue to work, or won't cause problems. Also it appears that once published the calendar cannot be removed from the web page, even if the original is deleted.
    With those caveats in mind, please see this web page:
    http://homepage.mac.com/rfwilmut/notes/icalpublish.html
    Note that there is a simpler method, involving exporting your MobileMe calendar as an .ics file, re-importing it as an 'On My Mac' calendar, and publishing it in the usual way. However of course it won't update if you update the MobileMe version, and if you make it the only version then of course it won't sync to MobileMe. It's one or the other, or use the hack described above.

  • You can't access your own content from the top menu anymore?

    Apple made a monumental FAIL decision for me regarding the new Apple TV.
    They really want to force feed their iTunes store to us so badly that they have now stripped all of your own content from the main menu.
    No longer can you go to TV Shows and watch... well, YOUR TV shows. Apple buried all of your personal content a couple of menus deep. In fact, the entire Music category is Now gone! Unbelievable!
    And I can't use album covers for a screen saver anymore? That was a great feature! i guess they don't want music associated with a TV device. Very bad decision in my opinion.
    This unit is a step BACK, not forward.
    Am is missing something? is there a way to get this content back to the front so I can easily access my stuff?

    agreed. the appletv is now an itunes store device (with your own content as a side issue).

  • How can i access my icloud files from the finder?

    I have tried dragging the icloud icon from the toolbar of safari to the toolbar of a finder window without success.  There are files from apps I would like to save on my cloud that do not natively support iCloud. 
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    -Fricaseed

    The Safari iCloud icon is for iCloud tabs which syncs all of your tabs in Safari between all of your iOS devices and Macs. So basically while you were dragging the iCloud icon into Finder, you were doing nothing. Also iCloud only saves information and files from certain applications such as Reminders, Notes, Messages, Safari, TextEdit, etc. If there are apps that do not natively support iCloud you cannot save their files to iCloud because Apple does not have a feature that can save any file from any app on your Mac. Sorry to tell you this.
    Hope this helps,

  • Accessing a coldfusion 8 developer server from the outside?

    I just installed Coldfusion 8 Developer edition with the built in server on a windows 7 computer on my home network because i want to experiment with some things for a client.  I can access the coldfusion pages from localhost but i cannot access them from any other computer.
    I thought that the developer edition coudl be accessed from more than just the computer its running on.
    what am I missing?

    Hi,
    Are you able to browse other web pages ie HTM from other than localhost? I would think if other HTTP was accessible then CFM pages should be also.
    If HTTP pages are generally not accessible other than localhost -  perhaps there is a firewall block or there is not route to publish to the internet or LAN.
    If other HTTP pages are able to be browsed where as CFM not, perhaps CFM is only available via the “built-in webserver” on port 8501 (or similar) and you need to connect CF to IIS with “Web Server Configuration Tool” (WSCONFIG.EXE) tool.
    HTH, Carl.
