Yes I need to be able to ssh in from the wild. Main issue is this: using Repearer phone app or anyone else can’t get into the 58475 node. If push come to shove I could go to the tx site and get in local. Be more convent to do from the house. Right now only way in is at the site. Can’t connect into or out of from the wild!
Then you will need to setup/update the port forwarding rules on your router.
Many will forward the WAN port number (e.g. SSH port 22) to the LAN IP address of your server/node (e.g. 192.168.123.149) and port number of the desired service (e.g. SSH port 22).
I have a theory...
Can you describe the topology of your network(s)?
-
I'm assuming that you have a network at home. Let's call this your "home network".
-
You have also mentioned going to the "tx site" where you can get in locally. Let's call this your "site network".
-
Lastly, you have the "wild" internet. How are you checking the connectivity of the server on the "site" network?
Questions?
-
When you are "getting in locally", is that using a desktop/laptop via Ethernet? or WiFi at the site?
-
Is this "site network" then same as the "home network" ... as in your desktops / laptops share IP addresses on the same subnet? or are the "home" and "site" networks different? If the "home" and "site" networks are not on the same subnet then how are the two networks connected?
-
Are you trying to connect to the public IP address and expecting your "home" router to loop traffic from inside your "home" network out and then back in to your network?
The last question is key. If you are trying to loop back your network traffic then this is likely your problem as most home routers will NOT perform the hairpin.
A simple way to confirm "wild" internet connectivity from "home" is to use your cell phone, turn off Wi-Fi so that you are only using the cellular network for connectivity, and then perform my tests using an app on your phone. You may also be able to use your phone's personal hotspot functionality (laptop --> Wi-Fi --> phone hotspot --> cellular network --> internet --> back to your your home network).
I have a theory...
Can you describe the topology of your network(s )? Topology – The Site is the same place our ISP’s equipment. We have a 25 ft. piece of cat 5 coming from the ISP to our Linksys router. IP address is 199.33.108.106 (static) into the router from ISP. Local ip is 192.168.123.149 set (static) local gateway is 192.168.123.254. The connection from the router goes into a Raspberry pi4 with ASL3 loaded from there into a Masters Communcations RA-40. From there into a Motorola Mototrbo RPT – XPR8300. Inside the sotware using Duplex #2 in SimpleUSB.
· I'm assuming that you have a network at home. Let's call this your "home network".
Home network isn;’t involved in this
· You have also mentioned going to the "tx site" where you can get in locally. Let's call this your "site network".
That is the only Network involved in this operation. I can get into asl-menu and allmon locally on this network.
Now when I try to get in via any other network not at the site where the router and equipment is I can’t I try to connect to the node using RepeaterPhone app on my iPhone and it rings and rings eventually times out. Tells me the connection is being refused somewhere.
· Lastly, you have the "wild" internet. How are you checking the connectivity of the server on the "site" network?
Being at the site typing in node58475.local sign in using user w5kjn and password getting to the Web portal page.
Questions?
· When you are "getting in locally", is that using a desktop/laptop via Ethernet? or WiFi at the site? – That is true the cat 5 cable is plugged into a LAN port on the router.
· Is this "site network" then same as the "home network" ... as in your desktops / laptops share IP addresses on the same subnet? or are the "home" and "site" networks different? If the "home" and "site" networks are not on the same subnet then how are the two networks connected? NO
· Are you trying to connect to the public IP address and expecting your "home" router to loop traffic from inside your "home" network out and then back in to your network? NO SIR!
The last question is key. If you are trying to loop back your network traffic then this is likely your problem as most home routers will NOT perform the hairpin. NOT Trying to do that.
Ok I am fully aware of how networks operate. I am Comptia Network+ Certified. So understand fully about SSH. I assumed 22 was the port and it would work with out me having to port it. 222 only came in because a chap thought the Allstar Illustrious Potentates were using 222 for the SSH. Want to be able to SSH in so I don't have to go the the site to install apps and do other things like setting up alerts and linking. Also want to be able to get into it through using a Web Browser.
Sorry for all the other confusing. I am not trying to link two networks together.
Update:
I was able to SSH into the site where the Allstarlink node is using port 22.
I can't get in through SSH via terminal.
I can't get in via Web browser.
I can't get to the node using RepeaterPhone app to try to connect to node 58475.
Maybe I have to use a different process to SSH to this site different than I do other sites in my day to day work?
is port 4569 what I would use for a Web Browser? Here is what I did
https://199.33.108.106:4569
Don't know if it's a dealbreaker but your IAX port forward should be set to UDP, not Both. I don't use Echolink so can't speak to that. Probably also a good idea to change the labeling to say what they're actually for, instead of two of them saying "UDP" (but maybe that's just me being pedantic...)
I'm confused. How were you "able to SSH" but also "can't get in through SSH" ?
From a web browser, you would be accessing the system using TCP port 80 (HTTP), TCP port 443 (HTTPS), or TCP port 9090 (Cockpit).
SSH is SSH. The only thing that trips me up (on occasion) is when my desktop/laptop login differs from the remote host login. Just need to remember to specify the alternate login.
Port 4569 is the IAX2 port. For web browsing, you would be using ports 80, 443, 9090, ...
Sorry what I meant could SSH in using FileZilla. Could not get in using terminal. Does 4569 just need on UDP?
Got web browser working after a chap told me I needed 9090.didnt see that anywhere.
