GUI interface running but inaccessible on LAN

[beeman]

Any help would be greatly appreciated on this one. I did my due diligence and I hope that shows.

`curl -s -k https://localhost:8006` works on a fresh install of PVE, but I'm unable to load the interface from other machines on the network.

tcpdump shows the client attempting to connect, but it seems to be a lot of handshake messaging that goes back and forth until it times out. attached is picture of log.

Hey,

can you ping your instance from other machines on the net? Can your PVE instance ping machines on the net? Can you connect to it with SSH?
Could you also post the output of systemctl status pveproxy and ss -tlp.

Thanks for your attention, Hannes.

• I can not ping the instance from other machines on the LAN. (times out)
• The instance can ping the machines on the LAN
• I can not ssh into the instance from other machines on the LAN (times out)

Do you have a firewall enabled on your router?

Not that can be seen from the router's GUI, but it is a router provided by the cable company and is lacking in many ways.

I will be swapping it out for a more configurable device this weekend, but for troubleshooting purposes in the meantime what would you have recommended trying if I gave a definitive "no, it does not have a firewall"?

You can ping devices on your network from PVE, therefore it has an IP and is on the network. So there has to be something that prevents devices from connecting to PVE. The only thing in between devices and PVE is the router. All I can think of has to do with the router having some setting that prevents connections to PVE, doesn't have to be a firewall, could also be some other setting.
Unless the devices themself don't allow the connection to PVE, but that seems unlikely and pretty far-fetched.

Will report back after swapping out the router. Thanks for your help so far

The issue was the router. Swapped it out and it was smooth sailing! Thanks
