#Hey guys Im struggeling in Port
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Here is good, but do read through https://community.home-assistant.io/t/remote-access-for-home-assistant/206072 and be aware that DuckDNS is having issues, again
I am operating a ISP connection with DS-Lite-Tunnel (German NetCologne). As far as I understand this means this is IPv6 only.
I want to set up Duck DNS with Let’s encrypt, but I do not succeed.
I operate a Fritzbox router, which is connected to a fiber modem.
I tried to enable port forwarding, but apparently fail quite hard as many things are strange:
-
The DynDNS client configured in my Fritzbox router sends a different IP address to Duck DNS (2001:[…]:e5ab), as other websites to display IP adresses (as my ISP Net Cologne https://www.netcologne.de/geschaeftskunden/service/meine-ip/) 2001:[…]:ac1e . How is that possible? - Fritzbox router displays for HASS setup (hosted at RPI4) has 3 IPv6 Addresses: fe80:[…]:9189, 2001:[…]:4615 and 2001:[…]:bce2. Which one should I use to forward to? My Fritzboxrouter initially takes the 2001:[…]:bce2
- If in DuckDNS I manually configure any IPv6 address displayed by router for HASS setup, I can acess HASS locally out of my wifi, but not from eyternal (using a hotspot).
Any assistance is appreciated. I do not know where exaclty to start fixing the problem.
Kindest regards
First things first: Thanks for the link, I checked it, but it unfortunately does not help me
DuckDNS is having issues, again, that may be the cause of your problems
If you're using IPv6 you'd normally want to configure your DuckDNS hostname with the public IP your HA host has, not the router's public IP
so basically the "internal" IPv6 addess? I know internal adresses do not exist anymore, but the one which is desiplayed in my router (2001:[…]:bce2)?
Well, the internal address is the fe80 one
so the DuckDNS domian should be linked with this IP?
No. The internal address isn't accessible outside of your network
That's why I keep saying public IP
No
entireing thi in my wifi works, but not from my (wifi disabled) smartphone
so portforwarding does not appea rto work?!
I've already said that was your internal address
sorry
let me reread everything
so the public IP adress of HASS may be 2001:4dd6:9ae8::5d2a:d8f:5612:bce2
at least thas what my router says
So, configure your router to allow access through to that IP on port 8123, and try a tool like https://www.port.tools/port-checker-ipv6/
doesnt look promising
Failed: We can NOT see your service on 2001:4dd6:9ae8::5d2a:d8f:5612:bce2 on port (8123)
Reason: Resource temporarily unavailable
And that's the one that HA itself tells you it has?
Thats what my router tells me
I assume there is no approach where HA directly outputs its IP adress?
It should show it in the console, and also in the networks tab of the settings
Which is your local address, not your public address
If your router supports port forwarding to IPv6, try that 
IP Information
IPv4
IP Address: 192.168.0.176/24
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Method: auto
Name Servers: 192.168.0.1
IPv6
IP Address: 2001:4dd6:9ae8:0:8944:d85c:305e:4615/64, fe80::7f1a:7777:aab4:9189/64
Gateway: fe80::3a10:d5ff:fe21:e5a7
Method: auto
Name Servers: fd00::3a10:d5ff:fe21:e5a7
thats what HA displays
so here we assume 2001:4dd6:9ae8:0:8944:d85c:305e:4615 might be the right one, which fails in portcheck, right?
Yes, assuming you've configured your router to allow that traffic through
the IP address is displayed nowhere in my router, so Im reseting the device in my router
need to leave soon... jetz deleted the device in my router and rebooted
lets see which Ip reappears
looks like there is no IPv6 address yet, only v4
alright, I think I need to end here
...at least for today
thanks alot for your assistance!
much appreciated!
Finally today seems that DuckDNS is ok, looking at https://www.intodns.com/duckdns.org all the servers are responding
Hopefully they stay up
Finally I managed it. Thanks for your assistance. Your explanation with internal /external IP helped a lot to understand.
