Connecting to Vesta from public IP

[p7f]

Hi,
I'm wokring on a virtual server running RHEL7. I can connect to the server with ssh trhough a vpn. From there, i've installed vestacp. Now i can correctly access vestacp if i'm connected to the vpn and i use {privateip}:8083. However, i cannot connect to vestacp using public ip of the server. Is there any way to do this?

First things to check:
- /usr/local/vesta/nginx/conf/nginx.conf - listen directive
- firewall rules
- and maybe this is some stuff like net.ipv4.ip_forward

Thanks a lot for your answer!!

1. In nginx.conf i have listen set to 8083.
2. I set firewall rules from vestacp logging from vpn private direction. 8083 is enabled. ¿Is this enough? i also tryed using firewalld with no result.
3. I'll look for some info about net.ipv4.ip_foward. ¿Could you give me some more info about this?

Thanks again!

i looked for /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward and its value is 1.

No one with a solution for this?

Is your public IP even reachable openly through internet ? Is your server located in a Datacentre or in a private location ? You said you can connect through VPN... this means the provider has restricted access to their network through secure VPN tunnel only.

If you have GUI on your server, goto https://portchecker.co/canyouseeme and check if port 80 and port 8083 are reachable from the internet. This is simple thing to check

Hi,
Thanks for the answer, and sorry for the delayed reply. If i put in my browser the public ip followed by :80, y get to the screen that says my fqdn and "powered by vesta". So i assume is accesible. I do not have GUI on the server.
Thanks
