I am running a Lighttpd web server on my Raspberry Pi. Since this question isn't Pi related I thought it would better fit in here. I am using IPv6 to connect to the web server on port 8080 and it is working fine. However as soon as I try to connect from the outside world the connection is refused.
I have set a port forwarding in my router settings. When I use tcpdump port 8080
and then go to Ipv6scanner.com I can see in the logs that there are packets being received and that the port is open according to Ipv6scanner.
However trying to access the IPv6 in the browser will always result in a refused connection.
What could be the reason and what would be the next steps for me to find out whether it is a problem with the server or the router? Am I right that the fact that the port is reachable tells me that the router is correctly forwarding the port and that it shouldn't be a firewall problem from the router?
Using curl like so
curl -g -6 http://[1234:4567:145f:2353:945c:1453:4701:1234]:8080/test.html
I can access the contents of my IPv6 server even when using a completely different Wifi. So it seemscurl
works but the browser doesn't... – phpheini – 2017-10-17T13:28:37.293
