fran1942 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Hello, what is the best way to test if my Apache server installation/firewall, NAT etc. is working outside of my LAN ?I thought of using a web based free anonymizer eg. "anonymouse.org".However I used "Anonymouse" within my LAN and it worked fine, but when I tried to access my web server from outside the LAN it did not connect.I thought anonymizers would be an ideal way to test, becuase they are effectively an outside (WAN) connection into your LAN ? - perhaps not ?thanks for any advice.

the_oliver Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Can you clarify this a little better? Do you want to know if your site is accessable to anyone? Do you want the conostinatly monitored or just a one off test?Is your NAT using a static or dynamic IP address? If its static simply get a friend to tap it into the web browser, or point a DNS record at it. If its dynamic there are one or two free services that will enable you to have a fixed domain name, where the DNS record is regualy updated ortomaticaly. I think no-ip.com is one.If you want a constant check look for 'service monotering' in google. Can recomend blue-emu.net . that can send you and email/sms if it becomes unavalible.Hope this helps.
