192.168.x.x:1500
So I have a small local server running a website. It’s not public facing at all, has a static IP address on my WiFi LAN and can be accessed by any Linux machine. I can’t see it on any iPhone or Android device though
I’ve looked up tutorials on line, ensured my firewalls allow local sharing on the WiFi, double checked I can even ping the server successfully with nmap on Android
Any tips?
::edit:: typo in post, not when searching for IP on LAN
I have a very similar issue. Seems like Android will bypass your DNS resolver and thus cannot resolve your local names.
I have my home services on “home.my domain.com” accessible from outside and re-mapped to “192.168.0.1” (my internal server IP) at home, and all PCs can access it while all android phones can only resolve to the public IP.
I feel it’s something related to DoT or similar but haven’t yet dig in that.
My guess is that you are making a typo. Like others have said 192.162.x.x is a public IP. You probably want something like 192.168.x.x which probably is more like 192.168.1.1/24 with the last 1 being its own number
What error you get exactly?
ERR_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED
Install some DNS test app for Android and check that it does get resolved.
My will resolve the home server address to 0.0.0.0, and I get the same network error.
Are your phones on the same network? Same vlan? Firewall rules? VPN?
Does tcpdump on the server see the request?
I get a lot of downvotes. I realize I say things that can be divisive. Why are people downvoting debugging steps? What’s divisive about that…
Don’t worry about downvotes.
I’m just trying to understand the rational. To me I downvote when the comment is against the community, or unproductive.
If I’m being a net negative I should know why! Usually I have a guess as to why, but when I don’t, I reach out so I can understand better. I do want lemmy to be a better place, so feedback is useful.
When there’s only a few, it’s basically just statistical noise. Some people downvote anything. Some people just have fat fingers and missed the upvote button.
If you say controversial shit outside of tech, mentally I’ll will follow you around downvoting.
So you will see all of your post have a few downvotes.
If it is just this one time, it is likely an anaomaly.
Edit: BTW tcp dump is a nice trick, so you deff added to the discourse here IMHO
Many people learn Linux and networking from these threads where idea are flying around. So deff don’t stop lol
