Cannot Access Duo Frontview via internet

Try https://wan ip:8080/admin

I assume you've set port 444 as an alternate HTTPS port on the Duo?

Port changed on duo to 444. Using wan ip:8080/admin does not work. I have looked for users with similar problems and from what I have read access by port forwarding should take you to the frontview screen and not to shares?

By default http/s access redirects to /shares but you can change it to point to one of your shares if you share this over http. You need to go to https://ip.address.of.nas/admin to get to Frontview. Could you try using a different port to 8080?

Hello I have been using a Duo for 2 years which sits on a network with a Vigor Draytek ADSL 2800 router. The PC's on the network have the shares mapped to drive letters. On port forwarding I have 8080 forwarded to the duo on port 444 (443 would not work. From the internet if I type http:// wan ip it goes to shares. How can I get it to go to frontview? if I add /admin that does not work. https:// wan ip takes me to the router login. Any help would be appreciated.

If you want to use port 444 for https with the duo, then you need to configure that as port 2 on the duo's services/standard file protocols page (in the https section).

Then forward WAN port 444 to NAS port 444 in the router, and remove the 8080 -> 444 rule.

Accessing shares over the internet would then be done with https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:444/shares

Accessing frontview would be done with https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:444/admin

I am thinking that you likely are forwarding WAN port 80 to the port 80 of the NAS? It is safer to only use https to access your shares. So if it were my system, I would delete any forwarding of port 80 (unless I was hosting my own web server on the NAS, which you are not). So I would suggest deleting that forwarding if you are using it.

Some routers do allow you to port forward a high port e.g. port something like 11111 to e.g. port 444. If you do that though you have to specify the port each time you want to connect as when you use a https address it is assumed you are connecting to port 443 unless you tell your web browser otherwise.

Yes. if WAN port 443 is not forwarded, then you always need to specify the port in the https connection. I just create a bookmark in my browser that includes the non-standard port.

thanks for your help. I will have to access the duo when I get home and check settings

Hi. I seem to have a similar issue. I set my E4200 router to forward port 444 to the ReadyNAS. I also entered 444 into port 2 on the ReadyNAS. I enter my IP address and get a timeout every time. Any help is appreciated.

Generally best to open your own thread.

Did you try connecting with https://ipaddress:444 ?

Are you testing this from inside your home network, or over the internet? If you are on your home network, did you try both your your external and internal IP address?
