Remote access

[Manxman]

I think I have set everything correctly. For testing purposes I have disabled the firewall and ensured all photos are on the same local c drive. My router is port forwarding 1081 to 1081 on the local Imatch machine.

I get the following screen when trying to access from the internet. It looks like I am missing something. Please help.

1. IMatch Anywhere IS NOT SUPPOSED to be accessible from the Internet.

2. NEVER open a port to the Internet in your firewall unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing. The internet is a dangerous place and changes are that your PC is hacked within a few minutes.

I have explained this in great detail in the IMatch Anywhere help system, including information for how to secure IMA in case access from the outside must be allowed using technologies like a hardened reverse proxy, VPN and similar.

Unless you are a seasoned ADMIN, don't don't make IMatch Anywhere accessible from the Internet. Don't open your firewall.

Close your firewall immediately and hope your system has not been already hacked by one of the million bots out there constantly scanning IP address ranges for open port to worm in.

Check out the Network tab in the developer tools (F12) of your browser to see which network errors are reported when IMatch Anywhere WebViewer tries to access IMatch Anywhere Webservices via local IP in your home net.

Make sure the imwsURL is set correctly in the config file (it must match the url/hostname). But as Mario says, don't open it up to the internet!
