Hi, I’ve recently built myself my first server to host a minecraft server. I manage this server through cockpit, which isn’t port forwarded.
Now I’m going to move to a different place, but I want to keep that server at this house because of more stable internet and me moving to a smaller space, but I don’t know how I could access this server remotely.
I’ve already tried adding a vpn to my router, but when connected, I still can’t access my cockpit dashboard. Am I doing anything wrong or do I need to port forward to access my cockpit instance remotely?
Then you would need to put that, and only that IP in the allowed IP section.
I’ve tried this, but it didn’t work. At home, I can access my cockpit server by typing the machines IP and port 8080. When I try this on the VPN though, it doesn’t work. I can access my routers settings, but not the server.
Can you post your config of the client? Remember to redact sensible information.
Here is my config file (I redacted the keys and changed up IP’s just to be safe):
[Interface] PrivateKey = [Redacted] Address = 192.135.163.201/24 DNS = 192.135.163.1 DNS = fritz.box [Peer] PublicKey = [Redacted] PresharedKey = [Redacted] AllowedIPs = 192.135.163.0/24,0.0.0.0/0 Endpoint = 9xs.myfritz.net:51609 PersistentKeepalive = 25Two things:
192.135.163.0 is not a private IP… the private range would be 192.168.0.0/16. I guess that’s because you changed the IPs bit maybe better check that
And 0.0.0.0/0 means “all IPs” so it doesn’t really make sense to put the other one there.
Other than that I don’t see anything wrong…
yeah tje 192.135.163.0 is changed, originally it was 192.168.0.1/24 iirc. Weird that there isn’t anything wrong, because when.I use the internal IP of the cockpit machine with the port the cockpit instance is on, it doesn’t show anything. Thanks for the help tho!
