Port forwarding using ip adress - Helix Fi
Hi, I'm trying to portforward a port to a server running linux. I know for a fact the device is connected to the internet via my helix router. However, it doesnt show up in the list of connected device on the app. Therefore when i try to create a port forwarding rule my server doesnt show in the possible devices to forward to. I, very annoyingly, cant just enter the ip adress to port forward to. Is there a workaround to this badly designed system? Or is there a way to use an ip adress when setting up port forwarding? Edit: The server doesnt use an IPv6 adress. I can ping the gateway from the server without any packet loss
Cannot port forward using helix app
Each time I attempt to add a port forward it gives me this: We're having some trouble No matter what I do it gives me that error message, I don't know what to do anymore, same problem persists 12 hours later. Is there something wrong with my router? Edit: I was somehow able to add a port forwards but the port still isn't open even if it says otherwise in the app And if i try to add any other port it gives the same error message
DVR and SMTP
I have a EMG2926 videotron router. I've installed a small camera setup at home (Bunker Hill Security DVR #61229). On the local network, all is good. DVR has his static IP (I can choose it), and video stream goeas through the port of my choosing (3001, as recommended by the manufacturer). I even can remote access the system using my cellphone if I am on the local network. However, when I am not on the local network, it gets trickier : I cannot acces my DVR. I think the problem is about some in or out blocked port. (I did find a sketchy solution consisting of remote acces on the local network using a computer, and then remote acces this computer from the outside, but that's not ideal) Another thing is email alerts. The DVR system can, when properly configurated, send alerts by email when motion is detected. I configured as instructed by the manufacturer to send email using the gmai lsmtp server (through 465 or 587 port). Once again, this does not work, I get an authentification error. And once again, I thing it has something to do with blocked port. So if anyone has any ideas, I'm open to suggestions !
