    Hellooo :) 

    I'm having a fair bit of trouble configuring a dedicated Airtime machine outside of our stations local network. I finally managed to access airtime outside of just the machine which was configured with localhost, now when I type in 192.168.1.29 (machines local address) I can access the interface on other machines in our network. However, even after port forwarding HTTPS/HTTP to access Airtime on the internet, when I type in our static IP, it redirects to https://192.168.1.29/login in the browser and won't let me access Airtime. I'm quite familiar with Linux, I've looked at the Apache virtual host configuration, tried reconfiguring Airtime with dpkg-reconfigure, however whatever the address is set to for Airtime to run on, it just redirects and won't let me access the interface from the outside world, although I can access other services.. The machine is running the latest version Ubuntu if that's of any help.

    Any help much appreciated, I haven't been able to find anyone with similar problems yet!

    Cheers, George

    This is normally due to either
    • Double NAT
    • Improper DNS resolutions


    First Make sure your outside IP points to your local IP.

    Lets say you purchase a domain or using a dynamic name resolver,the Cname must point to your local ISP fixed IP.If your local IP provided by your ISP is Dynamic,you definitely have To use some form of DDNS like TZO.

    How do you know your local Public IP. Go to https://grc.com then chose services and  shields up

    Your IP is normally at the bottom and somewhere in the text.

    There are others like Can You see me etc. but I like grc.

    Now you should have done that step already since you are familar with linux

    The Next step is to fixed the Double Nat'ed

    Double Nat'ed

    If you Are behind a firewall and then a router then you need to  make sure the firewall has an IN definition to the Router.

    Make sure the router have port forward for port 443


    Bit As I said you are Double Nat'ed some where if name resolution is okay
