Zero_Kool 5 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I have was wondering a way to easily access the MB3 server from the web without a <ip wan address>:8096/mediabrowser I could do a no-ip or register a domain or something. Just wondering what works for others or if the server could help generate a url for users, etc.... Looking for advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmarcuse 4 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I'm using no-ip...it works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1977 67 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I am also using dyndns, but have not succeeded to do over reverse-proxy. I prefer not to open port 8096, but limit my exposure to port 80 only. I have a feature request open for this, but curious whether one of you has found a workaround?

Sundog 16 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I'm a network security guy, and i just don't understand the reverse proxy desire. In my opinion, it's another element for a point of failure. Ports are ports, if you expose 80, 8096 isn't any additional threat. For transcoding and steaming, the last thing it needs is PAT overhead. A good firewall is a much better security tool than any reverse proxy. But anyway, to each his own! If I'm understanding the original post correctly, you could make a website on port 80, and then make a redirect, so it hits a webpage at your domain without all the extra stuff, and redirects. Or, make a page and post links to each website you have, and click one to connect. I'm doing something similar to the second option, since I have like 7 websites between cameras, MB, and a few other projects! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I currently have: my-URL.com my web-site my-URL.com/sabnzbd sabnzbd my-URL.com/TV SB my-URL.com/CP CP etc. I would like to add my-URL.com/MBS to it and look at it remotely. Unfortunately, for some reasons that does not work. I am using reverse proxies. No idea why this fails with MBS. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog 16 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Not without opening the 8096 port, sorry Im totally guessing here, but I imagine its a limitation of the software. The remote clients need to trade data with the server, and the standard port 80 is probably reserved. In order for the client and the server to trade data about transcoding, etc ...the guys probably had to assign a non standard port to handle both web, and other communications. Thats just a guess, but MB Server is much more than just a website, and port 80 might not be up to the task. If they did make 80 work, you would probably have to open other ports to allow it to function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1977 67 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Ok, let me go that route then of opening a second port. I have dyndns already installed and also have a domain. Do I need Apache to host MBS or what would I need to do to make it happen? Thanks for some guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog 16 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 MBS has all the web bits built in. Just install it, and it will bind itself to port 8096 and publish out the page. Glad to help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1977 67 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Any chance you can help me with a step-by-step guide how to access MBS away from home. I assume first step will be to open port 8096? What's next and what security measures to take? @@Sundog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
