TomatoUSB

Hello,

Current device equipment are like this,

Internet = = = ADSL Router (Bridge mode) = = = TomatoUSB Router (Router, dial ADSL) = = = a desktop

I want to access TomatoUSB router from internet.

What I did are;

1. register an account at no-ip.com
2. setup basic ddns in TomatoUSB router as follow;

Dynamic DNS section
IP address Use WAN IP

Dynamic DNS 1

Service No-ip.com

Email Address my_email_address
Password my_noip.com_password
Hostname / Group <test_hostname>
Force next update not check

Last IP Address xxxx
Last Result xxx
Update successful.
Dynamic DNS 2

no modify

3. I forward port from <test_hostname> port 8001 to my TomatoUSB router ip port 80.

Protocol: TCP
Src Address: <test_hostname>
Ext Ports: 8001
Int Port: 80
Int Address: <my router ip>

3. I try to access the <test_hostname>:8001 on web browser. No luck, cannot open.

I try to check canyouseeme.org and I notice that all port 80, 8080 and 8001 are not open yet.

I think something is missing but I can't figure it out on my own. Could anyone guide me how to configure ddns please?

Best Regards,

Enable Internet access to the Web UI. By default, you can open port 80 only from the LAN side and the ADSL is connected to WAN side ot Tomato router.

While you can enable WAN management, I am not sure it's a good idea. I thing doing it over SSH is better. IMHO, and all that.

Or better still, vpn into the router and get the GUI securely.

you do not need to forward a port, it is done automatically
if you are trying to access it by the ddns hostname from inside your LAN it won't work. Set your NAT loopback to ALL.

Hello,

I will try to setup a OpenVPN tonight. Once I'm authenticate the OpenVPN, I imagine that I should have the same ip as my TomatoUSB provide. So, I can access the router directly even I connect remotely. Am I understand correct?

Hi everyone,

I try to setup OpenVPN by follow this step.

I have problem about I do not know do I need to setup ddns in Basic section of TomatoUSB or just disable it and let the OpenVPN refer it only. I confuse because I do not sure where I should input the password.

Could anyone explain to me please?

if you are trying to access it by the ddns hostname from inside your LAN it won't work

this is not (necessarily) true. i access all my internal devices by ddns names, and with port-forwarding on the main router.
i set my (lan) domain name on my main (gateway) router to be the same as my ddns domain - eg myname.ddnsprovider.com

Hi ghoffman,

could you guide me what I did is incorrect please? are you using OpenVPN?

Anyone, I am try to set up OpenVPN but now I'm struck at,

- I do not know how to setup ddns in OpenVPN properly. Does it need to set at TomatoUSB router as well? ok it required.
- I do not sure what's the value I should set in VPN subnet/netmask of OpenVPN. By default, it is 10.8.0.0 but my ip range is different (eg. 192.168.3.1) So, should I set it 192.168.3.1 or 192.168.3.3 or just leave it 10.8.0.0 please?

anyone please?
