Summary of the issue you are facing:

Hello Nextcloud supporter, my problem is, that i cant connect anymore to my nextcloud from outside of my home, aka through dns-name. It allways timesout if i try to get on my domain. I already checked the firewall rules, the apache settings in sites-enabled, the port-forwarding of my router and the dns service from www.ddnss.de. I dont know where to check too, so I want to ask you, if you have any clue what I could check?
I was just one day at work and at the next day, it stopped working from outside. Locally, i can go on my cloud still through the 192.168.x.x ip adress.

So do you run any proxy-servers?

Hey Adelaar, nope i m not running there anything. Idk why this came up, but I had the proxy settings out commented in the apache settings.

I think, I tested with those too, if I can bring it back to live, but it didnt work out.

Hi,

Does your domain actually resolve to your correct public IP address from the outside?

Run nslookup from the outside. Do you get your correct IP address returned? If yes, then the problem is inside your network, if not then your IP address isn’t being updated by your DNS service for some reason.

Right now, I get:

nslookup mycloudr2d2.ddnss.de
Name:   mycloudr2d2.ddnss.de
Address: 78.43.84.45

Is that your current IP?

Dynamic DNS service providers normally require you to run a client, either on your ISPs router or a computer on your network, which monitors your public IP and reports to the service when the IP address changes so it can be updated.

Yes, that is my current IP and it was the whole time, when it worked. There nothing changed.

Is there a possibility, that my Raspberry cant resolve the dns-name into my nextcloud or similar?

I checked also the ports via website.

Must be filled with your domain name and the local IP, if you use it to call from internal network.

Yeah, I realized later that https://78.43.84.45 loads your Nextcloud page fine in a web browser.

But… I can also load https://mycloudr2d2.ddnss.de, it resolved and loaded fine for me, instant, no timeouts:

So, it looks like your server setup works and problem is with the device or the location you’re accessing it from. Or am I missing something? I use Firefox too.

I am able to confirm. External access works as ist should be.


Also there are valid certificates.

Maybe @danubis try external access form inside LAN and run into common issue with DNS rebind protection. If using a FritzBox read: Ausnahmen für DNS-Rebind-Schutz einrichten

danubis also mentioned being at work, so maybe their workplace started blocking dynamic DNS registered domains? I’ve seen that happen in the past.

i have it, i just deleted it for posting stuff here :smiley:

wtf, okay that is wyld. thx guys!

I will try it. it is pretty wyld, because it just happend for one to the other day. And i didnt change anything in my settings of my router. I have a Vodafone Station as Router.

I was on work, but mb. I used my mobile data, so no working network was involved. It is just about that i cant access through dns name from home. I will try to lookk into that DNS-Rebind stuff.

So, conclusion. I can go through my smarthphone and mobile data (just tested it yet) to my cloud. I just cant reach it from my home network through the DNS Name or the IP-address. I can just reach it with my IP-Adress of my Pi.

Well most likely two issues.

  • DNS rebind protection (internal FQDN will not be resolved to external IP-Adress)
  • no spilt brain DNS. WIth spilt brain DNS your internal DNS-Server shall relolve the FQDN to the internal IP-Address of the NC-Server

I’m a little confused now. You originally said that “it stopped working from outside” but now you say “It is just about that i cant access through dns name from home”.

These are two vastly different issues.

So yeah, I think what adelaar described is an issue when you’re at home, on your local LAN (192.168.x.x) and trying to access your local Nextcloud server via DNS name that resolves to your external public IP address 78.43.84.45.

And that often does not work because the domain name is bound to 78.43.84.45 and you’re trying to access a server that runs on 192.168.x.x IP, there is a mismatch and either Nextcloud itself blocks this or this protection is baked into the DNS protocol or something, I really don’t know, I’m not a networking guru, I just know that this will not work. Rewriting domain names like this to different IP is considered a security issue: you type in a DNS name that points to 78.43.84.45 but, instead you’re being taken to 192.168.x.x - which amounts to DNS hijacking.

So, if you want to access mycloudr2d2.ddnss.de reliably from inside your home network then run your own DNS server and bind mycloudr2d2.ddnss.de to 192.16.x.x local server address. So, now when resolving mycloudr2d2.ddnss.de from home, your local DNS will resolve it to your local IP instead of the external public IP and it will work.

I use AdGuard Home DNS Server but PiHole will let you do that too. As a bonus you get some extra malware protection and network-wide ad blocking by running your own blackhole DNS server.

I’d recommend AdGuard though, it’s simpler and has much better web interface than PiHole.

You can run it on the same machine you run your Nextcloud server. It has tiny footprint and minimal resource requirements. That machine’s IP will be your DNS server now. Or add another network interface if you want to have a different IPs for Nextcloud and DNS, but it doesn’t really matter.

Yea, because I also couldnt log in from outside too. Idk what changed in the last 2 days, but now it magically works. I m sorry for the confusion.

A classic case of a miraculous healing :wink:
