Firewall blocking registration of single phone and fop2 on 'whitelisted' IP

I suggest for many reasons that you only use https , rewrite 301 all http requests and add the non selef-certified certs to /usr/local/fop2/fop2.cfg and of course only URI’s will work then (no IP only).

IWFM

Will do, any ideas about the fop?

fop or fop2?
what was the question?

everything works fine for me though, it behaves exacly as expected and /var/log/(your webserver/{http,https}{error,access} logs will you clue as will tcpdump port 4445 and then tcpdump port 4445 and host HER-IP , for more detail.

fop2 WILL spin it’s wheels on login if the protocol is mismatched

I just checked httpd logs, no errors. There is a log when she was added to the trusted zone, that’s it.

FOP2

It does not work for this ONE user, everyone else it works fine for. It is VERY bizarre.

There was NO traffic for her over 4445 (I am assuming because she was blocked) I turned off the firewall and now there is traffic for her.

The thing is, it will work like this for a while then in a few days I will have to take the firewall down again. I’ve looked EVERYWHERE for what is blocking 4445 for JUST her IP, can’t seem to find anything.

If there is ‘no’ traffic on tcp/4445 from her, then there is a “device” between your server and her phone doing that as tcpdump sees kernel level traffic, i.e. before any iptable rules kick in to ‘block’ her.

Such “devices” will include

her phone
her machine
her router
her ISP
the internet
your isp
your router

most of these "devices’ can

forward
block
rewrite

the relevant traffic,

pretty well everything needs to be “forwarded” and that forward should be “symetric”

ok, I will check it again and those things and get back to you. Thanks!

Ok, I must have mistyped the IP yesterday, I did it again and here is what tcpdump port 4445 | grep 555.555.555.555 showed:

She is not able to sign into the fop again, it just fails saying it cannot communicate over port 4445. Her phone is working fine. If I disable the firewall she will be able to log into the fop instantly. iptables only shows her ip in the zone-trusted, her ip is also not listed in any of the fail2ban jails.

seeing as the traffic is two way, i guess the firewall is mangling it, but I don’t use it, so will have to leave this to others who do.

good luck
