Home webserver

Post by zaschf » Thu May 19, 2022 9:41 am

Hello good people on this forum.
I'm getting bald from pulling my hair out because I don't seem to be able the see my web server through the OpenVPN tunnel I've set up.
I'm using the open source version of OpenVPN with entrydns.net and it shows I'm properly connected on both my PC and entrydns.net. In fact I'm using the tunnel right now requesting some help.

My apache2 webserver is not visible from the web. How can I test, from the web, where the connection to my server goes wrong.
My router is a Huawei b535-933 (4G router modem) with no manual supplied.
My public (tunnel) IP is 209.222.17.69
and on my PC have tun0: inet 10.24.0.6 netmask 255.255.255.255 destination 10.24.0.5
My operating system is Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Are port 80 requests on my public IP passed on to my web server?

What am I missing here?
Any help would be very much appreciated.

If you want to see the server via the tunnel then do not use the public IP of your router.

You are quite right TinCanTech.
It is impossible to use my Internet Provider IP (118.149.78.118) address because I'm behind CGNAT of my provider.
That's why I'm using OpenVPN IP (209.222.17.69) to get around the CGNAT.
