How to make my lamp server accessible by others? - linux

I have downloaded the lamp stack server. I am using centos 7. When I put localhost:81/filename it is openeing but it is not working when viewed from other system.
My lamp uses port 81 so I changed Listen 81 in the httpd.conf and in the virtualhost as <virtualhost*:81>. But it is not working. Can anyone help me out this?

Are the two systems already connected to each using a network device like a switch or router?
To share your server with another system , you must first connect both systems to the same network. After which you need to get the IP address assigned to the system hosting the server. On linux, you can type ifconfig command to get this address from the server system. Then enter address in other system like:
http://192.168.1.128/filename
to view the resource.
If you have a wireless wifi box or router, you can use it to connect both systems. Just switch on the box without connecting to the internet.
Connect both systems to the router. Then follow the steps cited above to connect both systems.

Route traffic from WIndows to Linux(Kali)

I'm currently trying to route my internet traffic from my Windows laptop(192.168.1.73) to my other laptop running Kali Linux(192.168.1.64), both on the same network. The idea is the Linux laptop would anonymise the traffic sent, possibly hiding my IP in some way. I'm stuck on how to exactly go about this. I've tried using OpenVPN but to no avail.
192.168.1.x is not public IP subnet. So both your computers are in local net. And so one or both have yet default gateway address for access to Internet and another networks. If you want route Internet traffic through the Windows Laptop to Linux computer you have to setup the Windows IP address like default gateway for Linux computer.
Then on Windows you can used two options for access to Internet for Linux:
1. enabled routing functions use Windows like just router
2. used third party software (like Wingate etc) use Windows like NAT proxy
In the first option the Linux IP address will be view at ISP devices
In the second option the Linux IP address will be change on Windows IP adress
The first is very simple for management. The second is harder.
But I don't understood why it all. If you wanna more security in Internet network you can use https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Download and get maximum security level.
I'd honestly trash this idea and use Tor browser instead, you will be 100% anonymous if you follow the guidelines on their website.
The Tor project:

Tips on staying anonymous:

Well and if you seriously want to route the traffic to your Kali machine, use some built-in MITM tools (eg. Arpspoof), but be aware, that this will NOT make you anonymous to the outside (Internet).
Here is how you set-up the MITM, but without the intercepting of traffic:
First, we need to forward all the trafic that the Kali machine recieves to the internet
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
Then you need to send the forged ARP replies
arpspoof -i [Network Interface Name] -t [Windows IP] [Router IP]
So it should look something like this, you can find the router ip by running the command ifconfig (look for "default gateway")
arpspoof -i wlan0 -t 192.168.1.73 192.168.1.1
Then it should be up and running, tunneling you through the Kali machine.

How do I access my node.js website from an external device?

I have a node.js website running on my Ubuntu VM. I can access it both from the host and the VM. But if I try http://192.168.10.120:80, from an external device connected to the same network over WiFi, it doesn't work.
What I need to do to make the web site accessible to external devices on the same local network?
I've been googling this for days, and still can't find an answer...
If the host is Windows, there's two things you'll have to do. One is setting up port forwarding in your VM settings. If you're using Virtual Box check this out. Also, depending on your internal networking setup, you may need to allow inbound connections to port 80 through Windows Firewall. Check out this article from Microsoft. The process hasn't really changed since Windows 7 so it should be the same on 8 or 10.
As a side note, security through obscurity sucks but I still wouldn't recommend using port 80.

Connect linux computers to CentOS websever

i would like to ask on how other linux computer can connect to my CentOS web Server.Btw, I'm using virtual box on those CentOS. I tried googling it but i giving me hard time to find a good answer, so im trying to ask here if someone knows about it. Advance thank you!
It depends on how you are trying to access the web server.
If you are simply trying to access a website you have on the server, then you have the following options:
If the ip address of the server is registered with DNS then it's pretty much straightforward.
If the ip address is not registered, etc. and it's under the same network as the other linux computer then you need to know what ip address the CentOS web server has which you will use to access via a web browser.
If the web server is located in another network, then you will have to look into port forwarding.
If you are trying to access the web server to do anything else but accessing a website (e.g. installing software, doing configuration, etc.) then you have the following option(s):
setup SSH to securely access the server remotely.

Connecting to Raspberry Pi on Remote Network (XFinity Router)

I have set up a Raspberry Pi in my home office with a Linux OS and have installed Apache (PHP/MySQL). Everything is working and I've been able to successfully connect via SSH from my computer while connected to the same network in my home.
I've seen many similar questions on here but none that can outline what I'm trying to do. I have an XFinity Router and can access it's settings using IP 10.0.0.1 locally. I've read into Port Forwarding which I've set up for the Raspberry Pi but now I'm stuck on the next step in the settings to get it set up so I can connect to it remotely (from a network outside my home's). I'm hoping to use this to host web-based PHP scripts that we can run from any web browsers as well as be able to SSH in from any internet connection.
I'm sorry if this is similar to other questions here but the XFinity interface seems to trouble me and it's not making it easy for me to wrap my head around Port Forwarding and what goes into setting this up correctly.
Thanks for your help!
You need to do three things:
Make sure your Raspberry Pi gets the same IP address on your LAN every time. This can be done by configuring your router for DHCP reservation by using the Pi's MAC (ethernet hardware address), if it supports it. To get the Pi's MAC, You can type ipconfig eth0, or you can use Advanced IP Scanner for Windows, or my own Pi Finder for Mac. (Alternatively, you can set your Pi to use a static IP address.)
Forward port 22 (SSH) in your router to the internal IP address you chose. (If your router supports forwarding a different external address to internal port 22, I recommend doing that for extra security.)
Get a consistent external IP address or name, so you can find your home network on the outside. If you don't have a static IP address from your ISP, then you will need a Dynamic DNS service, such as those offered from Dyn.com, no-ip.com, and Namecheap. You'll need to configure your router to update the service, and not all routers support all Dynamic DNS services (or any). (Alternatively, you can install a Dynamic DNS updater client on your Raspberry Pi or other computer on your home network, but that may or may not be easy.)
I can't advise specifics as to how to configure your particular router, but these three steps are what are generally required to do what you want, and the rest is figuring out the specifics of how your router wants it.

Remote ssh with no router configuration

I will be sending a linux machine to a non technical customer overseas. After the customer has connected the machine to his LAN , which is also connected to the Internet, I want to be able to ssh into this machine without requiring the customer to do any router configuration (no port forwarding for instance).
The linux machine is connected to the internet through a router. It does not have a public ip address.
Is this possible using ssh configuration only?
If not then what is the simplest way to achieve this?
I used to work in a place where we had a setup that allowed for this, but unfortunately I can't remember the details - here is are the basics of the setup though.
The customers machine would connect using SSH to a machine with a known hostname using the -R option to ssh to setup a reverse port forward. We could then connect to the known machine and use the forwarded port to get to port 22 on the customers machine.
Sorry I can't remember more, but it worked absolutely perfect :)
If that linux system is directly connected with modem then it must have public ip address so you will able to access that linux system from anywhere . but make sure the remote system has static public ip address otherwise you need to do dynamic dns.
