I am not sure if this qualifies as an Ubuntu related question or if i need to go to a D-Link related community.
I am currently following the ars technica guide on setting up a home server using an HP Proliant G7 i have just got running here.
It is running a fresh Ubuntu server install 12.04.03 LTS.
I have additionally purchased a domain, and having tweaked and fiddled with SSL keys and certs am ready to "Expose it to the big bad internet".
A little stuck on how though...
My network setup is a bit heath Robinson with a D-Link DSL-2780 as the main router with an additional TP-Link WR841N as a switch (DHCP off).
- Can I run my server behind this setup, or will I need to flash my DD-Wrt (which is appearing to be a minor headache)
- Am I correct in thinking I will need to port forward (same as what D-Link calls virtual server?)
If so, assuming this guide applies, I will need to work out what goes where here... I'm thinking
Enable Virtual Server Rules : [tick]
Name : [insert name for my reference only]
Interface : [PVC0 (only choice)]
Internal IP : [The static LAN IP address of my server]
Internal startport : (?)
Internal endport : (?)
External endport : (?)
External endport : (?)
Protocol : [TCP / UDP / Both (?)]
I had hoped to forward for a key secured SSH (22), HTTP (80) and HTTPS (433), I imagine i would need to create a rule for each... just not sure now if there's a different 433 port for internal / external and where they start and end!
Any pointers would be much appreciated!
