Hi all, I would like to be able to access an electric vehicle charger from afar via jump box. The charger basically has a local webpage UI which I usually view on a screen which is on my local server (a NUC). I was hoping to be able to see this screen remotely using jumpbox but although it seems to connect to the NUC I can’t get what I want.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Maybe I have misunderstood what the jumpbox can do or maybe I have not set it up correctly.
The jumpbox needs to be able to reach the target device (on the same LAN) that you want and would work like a traditional RemoteIt connection, only you didn’t install RemoteIt directly on the device. If you didn’t have the link for jumpbox configuration, here it is: https://link.remote.it/support/jumpbox. You will need to match the type of connection (TCP/UDP), the LAN address, and the port on the configuration for the jump target service.
Once you have this set up, then you would make the connection. Please note that you cannot typically share a connection. Each person or computer needs to make its own connection.
I can connect to the NUC ok I think but when I launch I get the “Apache2 Debian default page, It Works!”
Then I am lost as to what to do next
When you look at it locally, you likely have a path to the page for example:
http://192.10.10.1/mynuc/index
You would put this address in your service configuration.
It’s just http://192.168.1.12 to connect locally (to the device I want to jump to from the NUC), in fact I don’t even put the http bit, just put the IP into browser address bar and it connects, from the NUC or laptop.
I’m really sorry but can you tell me where do you mean I should put the path ? In this file which is mentioned on the Apache Debian default page ? /var/www/html/index.html
So the NUC is on 192.168.1.31 and I want to access that from the outside and from there see the webpage of the device at 192.168.1.12 which is just a ESP32 device.
When I refer to path, I am talking about the url in the browser (The part after the domain or IP address). For example, in your case, it might be http://192.168.1.12/index.html and then the path would be “/index.html”
Your browser will automatically put in the http:// or https:// part and may not display it.
When you access he NUC while on the LAN what is shown in the browser? Also if you are trying to make this a persistent public url on a plan that has a screen that you have to acknowledge (Personal and Professional), this may not work. I would suggest making this work on a regular connection first, then move to this type of set up.
I think I am accessing the NUC when I press “launch” on the Remote.it UI (not sure) but it opens a Firefox page or two which have this “address”
https://XXXXXXXXX.connect.remote.it/
I obfuscated the URL you did select to make the connection a persistent public URL which means that anyone on the internet can use the url. See the article Persistent Public URLs for HTTP/HTTPS
When I am talking about making a connection on the LAN. I am talking about making a connection without Remote.It involved. I will message you directly.
