I'm trying to use qBittorrent's (I've also tried other torrent clients') remote Web UI, but can't seem to get it to work. I can connect just fine using http://localhost:PORT
, but can't connect using http://MYIP:PORT
. For MYIP, I've tried using both the one assigned by my router and the IP of my router.
I have Xfinity/Comcast and set up port forwarding, turned off Windows firewall, but neither of those seemed to work. Since that didn't work, I had my Xfinity router put into bridge mode and then connected another router with DD-WRT. I set up port forwarding there and still couldn't get it to work. I feel like I'm missing something simple.
In troubleshooting, I looked at DD-WRT's logs and it looks like the Comcast router might be changing my port into upnp or another port, depending on which one I'm trying to access it with. In the log, the status says "Dropped". I don't know if that helps.
Any ideas?
/UPnP.asp
page on your DD-WRT router to see if it works. This is also where you could check if UPnP is even enabled./UPnP.asp
page when I get home.localhost
that tells you the service in itself is working. Next step would be (as you've already tested yourself) accessing the Web UI locally through your computers LAN IP address. If that doesn't work, then there's no need to change anything on your router, it will be a local issue. A disabled Windows Firewall can have weird side effects. Leave it enabled and look specifically for rules that might impact your problem.
