Comment on [question] Help me access my local homeserver using a public domain name
TheHobbyist@lemmy.zip 12 hours agoThe A record was set on my registrar, so on a public DNS, so to speak.
- It allows me to use HTTPS on a private service without setting up any custom DNS locally and without me using any selfsigned certificates and with all my IP addresses being private. It’s a good solution for me to have the real certificates using the default public infrastructure while keeping everything private. What’s the danger of sharing that my private server is accessible at 192.168.10.20 for the external world? What could they do with that information?
- I use my tailscale network to which I expose my local network to allow remote access. Works great for me.

Then next I would examine the redirect and check your stack, is it a 302, 304, etc, is there a service identifying header with the redirect?
After that I would try to completely change your setup for testing purposes, greatly simplify things removing as many variables as possible, maybe setup an api server with a single route on express or something and see if that can be faithfully served
If you can’t serve with even a simple setup then you need to go back to the drawing board and try a different option

Opening up the network developer tools in Firefox, I’m seeing the following error:
NS_ERROR_UNKNOWN_HOST, though I haven’t been able to determine how to solve this yet. It does make sense, because it would also explain why curl is unable to resolve it, if the nameserver is unreachable. I’m still confused though, because cloudflare, google and most other DNS’s I’ve tried work without issue. Even setting google’s dns in firefox does not resolve it.
