External Access - access Pioneer from the Internet

Pioneer Support
1

Dear FreedomBox team, let me first thank you for this amazing project and opportunity to decentralise and privatise bits and pieces of our online lives.

Initial info as required :

  • I run FreedomBox on a Pioneer edition, connected to my home router (& modem, just one piece of equipment)
  • Bought it in November 2019
  • Running v. 20.5

So I am basically testing my external via trying to connect to Mumble for example.

Here is the description of my setup :

  • I have created a domain name on GNuDip, with a username.
  • I have configured it to point to my public IP address (which doesn’t seem to be modified by my ISP).
  • On my router setup I have a DMZ pointing to local IP of the freedombox.
  • On my router setup I have configured port redirection for ports 80,443, and both TCP & UDP ports for Mumble

Yet I can’t access Mumble from outside my LAN with my public IP/mumbleport. However it works when I am connected to my LAN WiFi. I can access FreedomBox via Tor though, and can access Cockpit using the domain address for the Pioneer.

It seems Let’s Encrypt never delivered a certificate properly, can it be a cause of the issue ?

Finally Matrix Synapse always fail to install. Maybe for the same reason ?

Thanks for your help guys,

After trying many things, I reset the SD Card, flash the Freedombox OS to it and reinstall, and it worked magnificiently.

It seems that loosing the router/modem access for too long messes up with the configuration ? Or is it because I am missing something ?
