im trying now for hours and didnt get any further. I just got a simple Express app and an nginx server running on my raspberry pi.
Problem: I cannot access it through the external api. I always got a timeout :/
Steps that i took:
Configured Sites-available.
Checked for listeners:
[
Tried all port-forwarding stuff i could found in the router settings:
(its german but i guess u get the point)
Please help me ! Thx in advance :)
Problem Solved
The missing point was my router. Not every Router supports to access the external API while ure connected with the youre local internet.
I turned of the WI-FI on my phone and were able to access the site via external ip adress and the domain routing to it.
I hotspoted my PC and were also able to access the website
!! Most modern routers allow accessing while you stayed connect locally to the internet, so in most set up guides they didnt mention.
Hope i could help someone in future trouble.
For me it was a waste of 4-5 h. Happy Coding guys!

Im hosting a server on EC2 and I believe I set up the ports correctly to allow on 80 and 443. I'm hosting a flutter app on Firebase hosting, which forces all network communication to go through https which has been a royal pain. When I run everything (on localhost) through http, no problems. I have tried self-certification, but that doesn't seem to work. I am now trying green lock https://www.npmjs.com/package/greenlock-express.
I followed their tutorials and everything but i'm getting: net::ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH. Can anyone offer some insight. I'm simply trying to host a static website and I have one call to a server. Maybe there is an easier approach?
For anyone running into this issue, I was using an IP: 12.345.678.90. Instead you have to use a domain: testwebsite.com
I have a server running centos 7 using cpanel and whm with csf. I am trying to run a nodejs express application on it that listens on port 3000. In order to do so, I added the line tcp|in|d=3000|s=0.0.0.0 to csf.allow.
When I run the code and use wget localhost:3000, I get the html files as expected, but if I try to connect from a browser the server just doesn't get the request. Am I doingsomehting wrong?
I am new to Linux and server management, so sorry in advance if I didn't give enough information. I'll be happy to provide more if needed.
If anyone stumbles upon this from Google, the problem was that my server provider was blocking uncommon ports. I mailed them and after two minutes the problem was solved.
I'm using node js trying to send my web-page to my network, I successfully call localhost:port in my computer using express as server, the webpage loads fine trigger my webcam which I used to streaming in the webpage, and then im working to make a simple app in my phone to directly access my server, so my questions:
1.How do I able to access my server from different devices in the same wireless-network? by calling ip + port ?192.168.1.104:9001 ? cause i've tried and it didnt work.
2.I've found https with .pem something like that, is that the answer ? is there also any other way ?
3.maybe any advice before i work to make my web-app to devices? using koa? i don't even really know what is that, but i'm happily take any advices.
EDIT: i've read How could others, on a local network, access my NodeJS app while it's running on my machine?
let's say I simply using random router, so i can't configure my router-port, my server in my pc and my phone join in the same network, trying to access the server in my phone
1.How do I able to access my server from different devices in the same wireless-network?
All you need to do is find your server's IP address in this same wireless-network, and find the Node.js application's port. Then access the following URL in other devices:
http://{server_IP}:{port}
However, there are some points need to check:
Need to check firewall and confirm the port is not blocked, server IP is not blocked by test device, and test device IP is not blocked by server.
Need to check whether there is any Proxy setting in server and test device. If there is any, disable the proxy.
A computer may have many IP addresses at the same time, you need to find the correct one in the same wireless-network. For example, If you install a virtual machine software such as VMware and run a virtual system inside, your real computer will get IP address as 192.168.*.* -- this IP address looks like an intranet IP in wireless-network, but it is not, and can never be accessed by test device.
2.I've found https with .pem something like that, is that the answer?
No, HTTPS has nothing to do with this problem. HTTPS just add security (based on HTTP layer), it does not impact any HTTP connectivity. Actually, to minify the problem, it is better to only use HTTP in your scenario.
There is only one very special case that may bring your problem by HTTPS -- the test machine is configured and will block any non-HTTPS connection for security.
3.maybe any advice before i work to make my web-app to devices? using koa?
My suggestion is: As there is an HTTP connectivity issue, the first step is trying to find the root cause of that issue. Thus, it is better to make a simplest HTTP server using native Node.js, no Koa, no Express. In this way, the complexity of server will be reduced, which makes root cause investigation easier.
After the HTTP connectivity issue is fixed, you can pick up Koa or Express or any other mature Node.js web framework to help the web-app work.
4.let's say I simply using random router, so i can't...
Do you mean your server get dynamic IP address by DHCP? As long as the IP is not blocked by test device, it does not matter.
I am using Nodejs with the express, bcrypt and body-parser packages on an ubuntu linux system.
Everything works fine so far.
However, I´ve been wondering if there is an easier way to connect to my website.
Until now, I have to type in my IP adress, e.g. https://XXX.XXX.XXX:3000 to actually see the content.
I´ve already tried avahi-daemon but did not get it work. Whenver I try 'hostname.local' I get the same error: Firefox is unable to connect to server.
However, using the IP-Adress: https://XXX.XXX.XXX:3000 works.
I would like to access my NodeJS sever with something similar to: computername.local
FYI: I just want to use it in my local network at home.
Does anybody have any idea how to get this work?
You have a couple choices. The easiest,if available, is probably to setup your home router to always assign it the same IP address (how to do that will vary based on your router). If your router has it available, you could also set a host name for it there in DNS settings.
If your router doesn't have DNS settings available, then you can add a line to each of your home computers /etc/hosts file (if memory serves Windows has it in C:\etc\hosts). Let's say the IP you give the server is 172.16.1.11, your hosts entry would be
172.16.1.11 computername.local
You could also setup your own DNS server in your house, possibly even on the same machine as has your node app, and then configure it to handle the one address before forwarding DNS requests for others to your ISP but that seems like overkill if you have just one app.
I have created an chat app using Socket.IO . It works fine on my home internet. But whenever I am at my university and connected to versity wifi internet, I can't get connected at all. Its facing 'net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT' error.
Here is the url: demo.codesamplez.com/ultrachat/demo.html (You will may get it OK, as I do on home)
I guess, this might be some kind of firewall issue or something?
Does anybody has any clue how to go forward for solving this? Thanks in advance.
Switching from HTTP to HTTPS should get around the problem with incompatible proxy server. That forces the proxy to use HTTP tunneling to maintain the connection instead performing whatever magic it does.
