are there any limitations in place on the webGUI to only serve to local IPs?

i can access the webGUI by IP and hostname from my local LAN, but when i try over OpenVPN i can't get to it using hostname, FQDN or IP.

 

apologies if i missed this somewhere.

There are no firewalls of any kind in place so the server will respond to any requests that get through to it.  Sounds more like a VPN or routing issue than an unRaid problem.  Can you ping the server when connected to the VPN?  Can you ping/connect to anything else on the network when connected to the VPN?

I have VPN set up and have not had a problem with hostname or IP resolution when I am connected via VPN.

 

It must be something with your setup that is causing the conflict.

that's the weird thing - i can hit everything else on my network (including unMENU and unRAID-Web) using the FQDN or IP with the correct port, just not the default webGUI.

 

edit:

 

with no root password i can hit it over OpenVPN just fine, but with a password enabled it's broken:

 

from LAN:

over OpenVPN:

any ideas? i suppose it's not that big of a deal.

Weird,

It doesn't look like a name resolution problem, it's resolving to the same IP address so it should be talking to the same box.  What do you see if you hit it with a web browser and not just wget?  The fact that it works without a password but not with one makes it sound like there is an authentication problem.  Not sure the VPN config could mess that up, but anything is possible.

I've just hit the same issue.  I can get to all my shares via Samba and the rest of my network just not the webui for unraid.  Any solutions.  My VPN tunnel drops me off on a different subnet though I think it NATs be onto the correct subnet if that offers any hits.  OpenVPN, the server is running on pfSense.
