ikon 439 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 What is RWA? And how might I do that? RWA is Remote Web Access. Link to post Share on other sites
g725s 18 Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) It's for the AC68U instead, but this should be very close, at least: http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Asus/RT-AC68U/Windows_Home_Server.htm More speciifcally, a piece of malware on the network could spoof the UPNP stuff and enable access to any of the computers on your network. That's NOT assuming that it sets up some sort of "command and control" hub to connect and control OTHER systems on your network. I set up the ports more like what Asus pages shows for HTTP Server at the bottom of this page: http://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/114093 Also the AC68U is the same exact router as the AC68R, that is just who they are sold by. I got mine from Costco so it had the R. I'm leary about the instructions on the page you link. Seem like they are more interested in having you install their software on your computer.

oj88 136 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Ok, just so everybody's on the same page, do you have it setup as such: Port Range | Local IP | Local Port | Protocol 80 | 192.168.1.1 | 80 | TCP 443 | 192.168.1.1 | 443 | TCP 4125 | 192.168.1.1 | 4125 | TCP Note: "192.168.1.1" is the example IP address of your WHS2011 Link to post Share on other sites
Drashna Jaelre 159 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Also, don't trust the configuration wizard, OR your internal network. Use a proxy service, or your phone when it's not connected to local network to verify if this is working properly. Additionally, depending on your ISP, it MAY block the ports. Most consumer plans WILL block port 80. Some block 443. It would be a good idea to find out if your ISP is blocking these ports. Additionally, GRC's ShieldsUp! is a good way to see if the port forwarding is working: https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 The "common service ports" is a good list to use, otherwise, the custom range is best.

And I enabled port forwarding. Link to post Share on other sites
jmwills 284 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Then this is probably a limited functionality of your router as Drashna pointed out. In other words, your router may not be able to negotiate that address form inside your LAN, but if you are outside it should be working. If you manually setup the router, ignore the warnings you are see in the dashboard, If you would like to PM me the URL in a PM, I can see if it resolves to the logon landing page.

I don't know why it gave me the domain warning, but now all I get is this warning: FYI, And those three forwarded ports that I put in are the only ports on the list. I would assume that any programs that try to use UPnP would add to the list? Edited January 15, 2015 by g725s Link to post Share on other sites
jmwills 284 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Don't Run the Wizard to setup the router!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
g725s 18 Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Don't Run the Wizard to setup the router!!!! Also I just got off the line with my ISP (cox.net) and they filter port 80, the others (443 and 4125) are fine. What would be the work around since this is the case?

I ran the test on that website you suggested and it shows the port 443 is open. If I access my WHS2011 box from outside my LAN it will be on my laptop tethered to my phone service (Sprint), or at my girlfriends house (same ISP) to access video or music files I have on my server.
