Hello, I enter the web interface with my Proxmox Virtual Server in the institution I work in without any problem. There is no problem in connection with SSH. However, when I want to connect to my Proxmox Virtual Server with VPn from Home from outside the organization I work for, I connect with SSH without any problem. There is no problem in pinging. But the Web Interface does not open. Where and what should I do to open the Web Interface I need support on this issue. Thank you.
 
Hello,

some questions to get more information,
- Does the PVE use Nginx Proxy on the port 8006?
- Do you insert the IP instead of domain in the URL? (please make sure to not forget the PVE uses HTTPS, not HTTP)
- Have you checked the Firewall in your PVE side?

Lastly, I would check if the 8006 port is open on *:8006 not on localhost, you can check using ss tool ss -lnt 'sport = :8006'
 
Hi,

1.Does the PVE use Nginx Proxy on the port 8006?

How can I know if the nginx proxy is fully utilized? I can only log in as 192.168.1.2:8006.

2.Do you insert the IP instead of domain in the URL? (please make sure to not forget the PVE uses HTTPS, not HTTP)

Yes, I'm trying using Https.

3.- Have you checked the Firewall in your PVE side?

How and where can I check the firewall?

4.Lastly, I would check if the 8006 port is open on *:8006 not on localhost, you can check using ss tool ss -lnt 'sport = :8006'

State
LISTEN

Send-Q

local Addressport
*:8006
Peer Addressport
*:*

Process


Thankyou for support.

If you don't have Nginx installed, you don't need to verify it.

By issuing the following command, this command tells the status of the Firewall on your node:

Bash:
pve-firewall status
