HDA dyndns

[weekendsrule33]

I had already had a rovio robotic webcam using a dynamic dns address through dyndns to access it away from home. Its ip address is forwarded to ports 80 and 554. Now, when i try to go to user.yourhda.com, i get the interface of the rovio. This makes sense, as port 80 in forwarded to rovio's ip, not the hda's. I tried to forward ip of hda to 8080, but to no avail. Are there any ways to have two devices on the same network use separate dynamic dns addresses?

I have resolved the problem. I set the hda to port 80 on my router, so when i went to its assigned dyndns address, it would go there. Then, i forwarded the rovios ip to port 8080. I then used a webhop redirect to go from the rovio's dyndns address to the hda's address with :8080 at the end.

Just so everyone knows i have since added password protection.

great, that's a good thing, cause it exposes your hda setup to the net.

this is good, at least until we have automatic user authentication.

for the record, here is the password protection guide in the wiki.

also also, you can add multiple users, adding another user is simply not using the -c flag (for create).

(added it to the wiki)

you can use the htpasswd command (first time with -c, subsequent times without the -c), like this

Code: Select all

htpasswd -c .htpasswd USERNAME1 htpasswd .htpasswd USERNAME2
