bytedeez Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 HI All, I am trying to get ubuntu server 12.04 to run in virtualbox. I have set my machine for bridged interface. Port forwarded my router to port 80. still only accessible through through my lan. I have tried configuring a static IP and set dns to point toward 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. and port forwarded my router. Still only available through lan. I have tried using NAT and port forwarded my router still only through LAN. I have followed 10 different tutorials and read about virtual networking and still can only access it through LAN. In case you can't tell i need this server to be accessible over WAN. Anyone know how this can be accomplished ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 It may depend on how you are getting your internet. I tried to help someone with a similar situation. The service they were provided actually had a NAT/Firewall on the front end before it got to his apartment. So he is unable to host anything. I would suggest checking your router's "external" IP address in it's manager. Then go to a website that detects your IP address like ipchicken and see if they match. If they don't, you may be in a similar situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bytedeez Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 Checked it, seems my IPs are the same. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Turn off all built in and third party firewalls. Windows Firewall (if that's what you are using), etc. Then try again from external IP address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bytedeez Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 My windows firewall is already off. Would I need to turn off the one from inside my router as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Shouldn't have to if the port forwarding is configured properly. You can always try to DMZ the virtual machine and then try from there. Maybe the next step would be to look at your port forwarding settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bytedeez Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) Ok I'll try it. I port forwarded on port 80 because the link to the file I'm trying to pull off it is https:// Then I tried setting up to forward from Port start 1 to end 40000 but still nothing. Also should still have a local IP after I forward? Edited June 15, 2014 by damavox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bytedeez Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 And is there a way to find the exact ports I need to forward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 It depends on the server you are using and what it all wants. All I can think of is what you think you are port forwarding may be wrong? How familiar are you with port forwarding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bytedeez Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 Not a whole lot. This is actually the first time i've had to use it or a server. Been working on it for about 2 months on my own before posting here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 See what you can get worked out by reading on this website: http://portforward.com/ Specifically, the guides (left side links) http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm You choose your Make, Model, and what type of traffic to forward. In your case, HTTP and HTTPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bytedeez Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 hmmm. My router IP is open on port 80. My Server VM ip is also open on port 80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bytedeez Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 says it is open on another device. ok i figured out my problem. I was trying access the file using my internal IP. Once i Used my external IP. It worked, I'm this has no effect on the software. Cause it requires me use an IP address. In case your interested i am installing snoopy version 1 from sensepost. They just came out with version 2 called snoopy-ng. which has a completely different setup. Can't wait to see it in action though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
