[SOLVED] Can't mount Hetzner Storage Box CIFS

i have one more idea.

what happens if you telnet to the smb port to the storagebox?
telnet u3XXXXX.your-storagebox.de 445

does it tells you then, that you can escape with ctrl+] or does it times out?

I let it run for 1m30s and nothing happens.

It works on another machine though, but I must note that this other machine is on another network than Proxmox.

I'll see if I can get ahold of someone at home to try it on their own device, to single out if it's a network issue outside of Proxmox.

Code:
telnet u******.your-storagebox.de 445
Trying 78.46.14.173...
^C

Thats the issue, here it works, no matter if i try from home or from a hetzner server directly.

Your outgoing port 445 is blocked somewhere, i think probably your home modem or something that has a firewall?
But that mystery is solved, you have just to find out what blocks your port.

I just tried it on my dad's pc and it indeed can't connect either.

I then Googled "<my isp> blocks", and low and behold before I could finish my query the top result was "<my isp> blocks port 445"!

Thankfully we're changing ISP's soon!!

I would also recommend not to use cifs/smb over the internet but rely on SSH instead. You can SSH-mount the storage as well (sshfs).

I wanted to use the `seal` mount option to encrypt the traffic, but I will use sshfs instead now
