Web interface inaccessible thrugh VPN
-
i have duetWiFi sitting behind router with VPN.
there is other equipment that resides behind this router too.DuetWiFi works well from inside, but is unavailable from outside (by web interface) but i can ping it.
on the other hand from outside i can establish connection to the inside PC and access duet from there, but this is very inconvenient for me.network configuration is below. for trouble shooting i tried M586 for ftp or telnet but it is not implemented yet.
please advise how can i troubleshoot the issue.many thanks in advance.

The current Duet WiFi firmware always uses DHCP to get an IP address and the gateway parameters. I'm thinking that this may not work with your VPN. The 1.19alpha firmware lets you set the IP and gateway addresses manually. However, some users have experienced problems with the current 1.19alpha firmware, so please wait until I have released an update later today before trying it.

As far as the DHCP is concerned, yes if I set the IP address within the Duet Wifi config.g file, it still is an IP lottery when it is reset.
However, on my router I was able to give it a static IP and it never….ever changed since I did it on the router side. I have thought about this before as well because it supports an IP camera, so if I could print and either remove the bed and put a new one on...or have a robotic arm to pull a part off the bed...controlling it from my phone in NY while the printer is in FL to print on unused bed space, or print in general so it is done when I come home is a luxury I am very interested in making work.
Technology is at its best when it becomes invisible. It's really not far from that.
