Remote from other PC - Cannot open ports

Post by lospo »

Good morning,
is possible to control qb from remote via internet?

I cannot open any ports because of my isp.

I was thinking something about email (check status, add or remove torrents), or uploading in any free hosting service via ftp. Is possible?

Thank you so much

Yes.

Then again, possibly not. Though what your ISP has to do with firewalls on your computer and/or your local router escapes me.

Not really.

@lospo use the WebUI, but keep into account you will need to open a port (default 8080).

It is on YOUR router where you need to open or forward ports, nothing at all to do with your I.S.P.

(and i also try to configure no-ip.com through the menu)

For what purpose?
but nothing happend.
Define "nothing happened"

i.e. ... What were you expecting to happen.

In my opinion with the no-ip.com account i should access the webui through no-ip services. (am i wrong with this?)

Nothing happends mean that chrome tell me "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED" (or you can check by yourself: sblinda.zapto.org )

All that means is that you do not have a HTTP server listening on port 80.

1. Set your router to forward the port to your PC(make sure your PC takes a static ip from router). Your router should map the same port number to outside as in the outside. ie don't have it map the interal 80 port to an external 4563 port.
2. Discover your external ip.
3. Go to your remote PC, open a browser and enter <external ip address of server>:<port number> eg 46.70.85.96:80

When you get the above working, then you can go and setup a noip domain that will automatically refresh with your new external ip...
