Access RT from behind firewall

RT Users
1

Hi All,

I have RT running on Openvz hosted locally and this was running very
will. Now my concern is how do I make users to access RT from the
outside? I have tried port forwarding port 80 to it but doesn’t work.

Is there any config that I would like to set on RT configuration?

Regards,
Rocel Lacida

NAT’ing the traffic to your RT server should work just fine or use a
proxy server.

Hi Darin,
Good Day!

Yeah it’s really weird why it doesn’t redirect the traffic to my local
RT server. Where in fact I could access it locally. The firewall NAting
configuration is fine I tried changing this config to other local ip
which point to a webserver it redirect fine. I don’t know where the real
culprit is Openvz where our RT is installed or the RT itself.

RT just sits on a webserver and serves pages. It doesn’t care where
network traffic comes from, as long as it can reach the webserver. You
may have your webserver or VM configured to only allow requests from
certain subnets or something.
