In reply to: Access WP on home LAN from outside via port substitutionhttp://142.252.127.124:6666/phpmyadmin
That’s both odd, and interesting at the same time, because that ip address is in a netblock associated with “ceylon proxy” and hosts at lease two sites that appear to possibly be (they are Chinese sites tha seem to be offering gambling with Filipino operators) casino and -or- possible phishing related content. – Just my opinion, of course, and I could just plain be completely wrong.
How did you come by that WAN address for your Pi (more accurately, your router)?
Sorry for not mentioning explicitly, that the above IP and port number are not my actual IP:port, but some random combination I put in for illustrative purpose. My IP does not matter here, it’s dynamically assigned to me by my ISP.
Having that off the table, is it possible to access WordPress in a situation described in my first post?Forum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: Access WP on home LAN from outside via port substitutionThe people accessing your site won’t be there to visit. They will be trying to break into your system and take it over. And since virtually all home systems lack the hardware and software to prevent such network attacks, the intruders have a good chance of succeeding.
Hosting is cheap these days, and short-term hosting is available at hourly rates from many cloud providers. Give it some thought…or give some thought to changing Apache to only listen to ::1 and/or 127.0.0.1.
You missed my point (and post). The site was never intended to be accessed by anyone but me. Probably I’ll even tear it down entirely in next few days.
My Apache server is actually down all the time while I’m not playing with it.Having resolved that, can we focus on the actual problem at hand 🙂

In reply to: Access WP on home LAN from outside via port substitutionThanks for the piece of advice, although a bit off-topic 🙂
This will not be a website for the public to visit.
I’m rather experimenting around. I’m trying to figure out what prevents me from accessing WordPress, but not for example phpmyadmin, or any plain html for that matter.To remind you: I forward <my public IP>:6666 to <my local apache IP>:80 and wordpress does not like it. Did anybody tried similar scenario?

In reply to: [Connections Business Directory] Connections loads foreverSorry for not having posted earlier.
The issue was gone couple hours later, and was most likely a server issue.
So, all’s working again…
Thanx 4 the great plugin, BTW.
