openwebif refuse to connect outside of network

Hi all,

I need your help. I'm having a problem with connect to openwebif outside of my network as I am using vpn.

What I did is I have installed openvpn on my octagon sf8008 stb. I have created the openvpn directory in the etc folder and I have uploaded the .ovpn file in the 'etc/openvpn' folder. Then I changed the filename to client.conf. I have set the autostart and I have start the openvpn so the current status is running.

I have set the 'enable access from vpns' in the openwebif setting. When I try to connect to openwebif: https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9983, it said:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx refused to connect.



I don't really understand why it have refused to connect when I have set it up correctly.

How I can find out if my stb is connected to vpn server?

If my stb is connected to vpn, then I want to know how I can find out what the caused of the blocked?

I have already set the open port forward in the openwebif setting and in my stb via my router > nat:

sf8008 ETHWAN 192.168.1.202 9983 9983 9983 9983 TCP

The name of the router I am using is: VMG1312-B10D.

I have set the firewall level to low setting and it is still the same.

Do you know why it is refused to connect?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

If you want to access the device from another network, turn off the VPN.
Setup the open port forwarding like you did above.
Turn off firewalls.

You can't have it like Fort Knox and expect to login from Baghdad
 
Not Baghdad more like Chinese or Russians wanting info.
Not good opening your firewalls and i Will check out your banking issues.
 
Thanks, I have manage to get the vpn working now.

I have added the open port forward in n the NAT, but when I connect to the vpn with open port, example:

http://94.10x.xx.xx:9983/


it say it take too long to response. I have set the firewall level to low, still the same.

How I can turn off the firewall?

The router I am using is called: VMG1312-B10D

I'd like to see you get any bank details from my zgemma H7c via openwebif. Or any other device on the same network, I've not used a VPN, firewall or antivirus for over 15 years, the bloke who started all that crap off was certified insane and ended up in jail.

People can only get information if you send it to them

One never knows who or what can access your details as i find it hard to put one foot in front of the other.
Not use a VIN in ages as ground it off 😂

I have got it working, I can now access to openwebif using my external ip.

When I click on the stream, I'm getting an error:

Your input can't be opened:

VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://79.xx.xx.xx:8001/1:0:19:718:...ht=576?vcodec=h265?aspectratio=2?interlaced=0'. Check the log for details.


How I can enable the stream?

you need to open port 8001 as you did with 9983, if the port is not open on your router and forwarding to your box then you wont be able to access it externally
