no ssl through router

techhost · 05-20-2004, 05:24 PM

i have a hawking tech adsl router. i am running redhat 9 and plesk 7 for a small web hosting server. i am unable to get to address such as https://whatever.com. i have the ports open for ssl. i know the computer is configured right because i was able to access ssl through my internal adsl modem. the only diffrence was no router in the modem i was using a software router. what could i be missing?

the address in question is https://techmax.biz:8443 i also have secure forms that are not working now. please help...

The number in your address is a port number. You need to make sure that this port (8443) is open on your router, not the default SSL port (which i believe is 443).

Hope this helps,
Mark.

nope that one is open. here is a list of my ports

1 21 21 TCP 10.0.0.84
2 22 22 TCP 10.0.0.84
3 25 25 TCP 10.0.0.84
4 80 80 TCP 10.0.0.84
5 106 106 TCP 10.0.0.84
6 143 143 TCP 10.0.0.84
7 443 443 TCP 10.0.0.84
8 465 465 TCP 10.0.0.84
9 783 783 TCP 10.0.0.84
10 953 953 TCP 10.0.0.84
11 3306 3306 TCP 10.0.0.84
12 8443 8443 TCP 10.0.0.84
13 30000 30000 TCP 10.0.0.84
14 53 53 TCP 10.0.0.84
15 53 53 UDP 10.0.0.84

every this works except ssl

Those numbers look like they are firewall settings for incoming connections. (External port number, internal port number, protocol, server). Are you sure that your router also uses these settings for outgoing connections? On my router, all outgoing connections are allowed, and only incoming connections are affected by the firewall settings. Perhaps there is a different menu for outgoing connections, or perhaps the problem is unrelated to firewall settings?

I have tried the website you linked to and it works fine here!

hmmm so you tried the link from outside and it worked. well then i guess it works. thats wierd...i need a better way of viewing my web server. there has to be some way i can view things from behind my router/firewall.

Ah... you are on your local network? Perhaps you should be using the network address instead of the URL, which I guess for you is:

https://10.0.0.84:8443/

yes i am on my local network. i have been using aol for viewing my webs and server from the outside. i cant get to them from the inside. so to access my control panel i use the https://10.0.0.84:8443. i was led to believe i had a problem because i would type https://12.161.80.177:8443 or one of my domains such as https://www.techmax.biz:8443 and i get an dns error through aol. but since you have been able to access my server via ssl i think maybe aol has a problem. you where able to access my system via that address correct?

I use a free dialup account to access the net when testing my server. Very easy to do.
